What a month!

So 2015 didn't exactly start with the greatest month.  J's been under the weather quite a bit this month and we've had a lot of sadness.  One of his classmates was hit and killed by a drunk driver a couple of weeks ago, and a few days later, our pastor had a massive heart attack and passed away.  It's been a very tough month in our little community.  I'm thankful that my little family is safe and sound, and all together.

We made our first attempts at potty training.  Yeah, that didn't go so well.  It wouldn't be so bad if Lincoln wasn't such a big kid...diapers don't fit so well anymore.  

Lincoln's sleep regression is getting better.  He still gets out of his bed at least once nearly every night (with an occasional  "gift" of uninterrupted sleep thrown in the mix), but he can now be taken back to his own bed and tucked back in most of the time.  Recently, he's started coming to get me to rake me to the refrigerator for a drink in the middle of the night.

Speaking of Lincoln, his vocabulary has exploded.  He consistently recognizes (and names) the colors red, yellow, green, blue, and white; sometimes pink, black, and orange.  His Mrs. Potato Head has a distinct voice when they play, and Olaf is our new snuggle buddy.  

I've nearly made it an entire month posting daily Instagram pictures.  Sorry I haven't kept up the blog as well...

We've had no snow days, but went to school late one day this past week.  The kiddos are going to get tired of each other if they don't get a surprise day off soon.  But they'll appreciate it when they're done in mid-May!
