First Tooth

Following a week of serious drool and some crankiness, Lincoln finally got a tooth. He demonstrated this little accomplishment by gleefully gnawing on my knuckle. And though I would love to get a picture of this little wonder, Lincoln is completely non-cooperative when it comes to his face. He hates any sort of picking or prodding.

Making Tracks

Zeke and Gabby find alternate uses for his train tracks.

Nanapapa.

The boys were so excited to see their Nana and Papa tonight. We look forward to a fun weekend!

Smith Sunday

We got the chance to hang out with the Smith family this morning. We took in a pancake feed and watched a fishing derby at Lion's Park. Of course, no trip to this location would be complete without a visit to the playground.

Somehow the amount of pancakes we were served wasn't quite enough. We headed back to our place for a little more breakfast and playtime for the boys. 

Gabby Boys

I think these three were happy to be back together. So many smiles.

Family Time

We don't need much of an excuse to get the family together, so this weekend we had a pretty good turnout. Everett and Jelinda made it, so we got to cuddle on Evan. Then Pat and John drove over from Walla Walla and Liz and Peter made the trek as well. We all met up at church and enjoyed an afternoon and evening of good food, great conversation and a few trips down memory lane.

Evan practices her dental skills on anyone who will let her.

Lincoln gets to know Great Grandma Edna.

Cabin Site

He can't wait to get outside.

We took some time today to hang out at the new cabin site. There is a good fire going and we all had fun imagining how the different views would be.

Dad paces off the dimensions. Classic.

Lincoln Love

Lincoln has us all wrapped around his chubby little finger. He had Great Uncle Larry giving him bottles every time he whimpered.

And Grandpa Jim would put him in the backpack and tote him around when he seemed bored or whiny. They actually made it all the way over to Larry's this morning and spent several hours playing two men and a little baby.

So happy, he's clapping his hands.

Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch

Gabby is taking great care of the chickies while we're away. They are egg-laying wonders this spring. We usually have four or five dozen eggs in the fridge at any given time, so let us know if you need some!

Frontier Mama

When in a pinch, this lady knows how to do things old school. The linens needed freshening up, so she took care of it. Thanks, mom!
