Conversations with Lincoln

Me:  Lincoln, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Link:  A duck.

Lincoln came home from preschool the other day with a little disguise thing--you know the kind, with glasses, a mustache, and fake nose.  The letter they were learning that day was N, so I asked:

M:  What does this have to do with the letter N?
L:  Nothing.

Moments to Remember

For each of my kids I have taken a picture of them laying in their crib smiling at the cute baby in the mirror.  Only, I waited too long for Dax and he is not at all excited to be laying at his crib, looking at me in the mirror and smiling for the camera.  I tried, but every time I put him in his crib he screams at the betrayal.  But I did get this one when I went in to get him up one day.  He's pretty proud of his new ability to stand.  I guess it's time I put the mattress down another notch.

Just Dance.  Gotta love it.

A rare moment when they are playing, Link is not pestering, and Dax is not crying.

Thanksgiving 2012

Due to being pregnant, or bad weather, or traveling being too hard with babies too young, we have only had Thanksgiving down in Utah once.  The stars aligned this time and we were able to go again.  In previous years Thanksgiving at Grandma's house has included loads and loads of cousins, but this year it was just my parents, grandparents, and some of my siblings and their families.  We still had a ping-pong table full of food, and a long string of tables to fit us all.  It was fantastic.  And to make matters even better, Dax slept through the meal.  I'm so glad we got to go.

 Although, I'm not so sure everyone else was glad we were there, when the next day Link and Dax had some sort of stomach bug.  Poor guys.  Sorry everyone!

  Regardless, we were able to have a fabulous time.

Unbeknownst to us, Dad had been having chest pains for a while and assumed they were caused by acid reflux.  Friday night they got so bad he ended up in the hospital and had a couple stents put in his artery near his heart.  Modern medicine is miraculous, and we are so grateful Grandpa is still here for us to enjoy.
