Davon is The Man - 8 days old today

We brought Davon home on Friday when he was 2 days old and have been slowly adjusting to life with baby again. We don't know how long Davon will be staying with us, but we are enjoying every minute. Lincoln just loves carrying Davon and has been so good adjusting to the little man. Davon now weighs 5lbs 12oz, which is up from his birth weight of 5lbs 6oz and the doc was very happy about that.

Dee's Boots Were Made For ....

I've truly localized to Kansas City. Check out my new footwear. Thanks Grandma, Mom and Milt for the Christmas present.

Halloween

The much awaited pictures from Halloween. Lincoln didn't so much like his Giraffe costume so when it was time to go trick or treating we put on his soccer uniform as a backup. He had such a good time and ate way too much candy (ok so maybe Mom and Dad ate most of the candy)!

Soup

Thought it was time to post something new on our blog. We have been making soup lately since the weather has been pretty chilly. Also, gives Kelly a way to practice the techniques she's been learning in cooking class.

Lincoln just loves eating soup and he insists on feeding himself these days. Hope you enjoy this video of dinner time last week.

We got a Walker!

On Tuesday Lincoln officially started walking! He surprised me (mom) when I went to daycare to pick him up, such an exciting moment. We haven't been able to capture him on video yet, he's pretty quick and we just get so caught up watching him go. Thought we'd share the fun news with everyone!

The picture is his "yo, what up?" pose.

Some Maine Photos

Here is a little preview of our wonderful trip to main in early August. We had a great time visiting with our friends Chris, Rachel and William (aka Willibum). Our friends Ariel and Peter were so nice to let us use their vacation home as our base. It is a beautiful house and Lincoln just loved the huge staircase!

Weekend in St Louis

Such fun exploring Forest Park and Downtown this weekend. Saturday we headed downtown to see the famous Arch and the beautiful grounds nearby (saw at least 10 wedding photo sessions). On Sunday we had a nice breakfast with Sarah and Josh and then took their advice and went to the Zoo. Lincoln says it best for all of us and just loved watching the Elephants!

Deanna Rose

A few weeks ago there was a fundraiser at Deanna Rose http://www.opkansas.org/_Vis/Farmstead/

Supporting Operation Breakthrough http://www.operationbreakthrough.org/

We were so happy to help support such a great cause and love visiting the Farmstead. There were all kinds of good food (pizza, pasta, ice cream to name a few) and after we finished eating we had to walk that all off. Good thing the farmstead has lots of walking paths where we got to see all the animals and then rest our feet by a waterfall.
