Linc

Our Lincoln is 6 1/2 months old and 17 chubby pounds. He's got two bottom teeth and loves to read. He likes to scootch on his back and play in his jumper. He is sleeping about 10 hours at night. His talents include, and are certainly not limited to, laughing, drooling, putting things in his mouth, and acquiring items that are just out of his reach (to put in his mouth).

I love his soft skin and adore his rolly body which allows his toes to reach his mouth. I take pleasure in listening to his jabbering and cherish how his face lights up when I come into the room. Oh, he's a darling. We are so blessed to have him and we are enjoying him so much.

summertime

Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime...

I can't believe it's the end of June. I haven't blogged, journaled, or even written letters. This is what we've been up to...

reading 30 minutes a day, practicing the piano, hiking to Timpanogos Cave, camping with cousins, playing water balloon volleyball, swimming, weeding the garden, canoeing, making smores over a campfire, driving race cars at Boondocks, playing laser tag, going miniature golfing, taking pictures, watching movies, mowing lawns, building with legos, going to the library, playing at the park, doing craft projects, acting in a play with cousins, riding scooters, eating popsicles...

We've got two more months of summer and we're going to pack as much in as we can. Pictures to follow...

piano recital

"Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without." --Confucius

My students performed well at the recital, I was so pleased.

Jane began the recital with Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater. The children all played solos, Zachary and Griffin played Yo Ho (yo ho a pirate's life for me) together, and Anna played This Land is Your Land with her friend. Lincoln slept through the entire event, sweet boy.
