I can't believe it has been a MONTH since I last posted. The beautiful weather is partly to blame b/c we were outside enjoying it, as well as, little man not napping as well. But ALL of that has changed, and now I have a moment to write.

A few funnies/sweet memories:
For my family- I heard Lincoln's class singing "Little Bunny Foo-Foo" on Tuesday and I immediately thought of Aunt Lynn, who first taught me that song when I was little. I could see her and hear her sweet voice singing it in my head. :) My question is when she sang it, did the good fairy turn Little bunny into a "goon" or did she say something else? Susan, Sandy, and Sarah may have the answer to that.

One thing I am learning w/ 3 is that I need to do as much as possible the night before school/church just to make it anywhere on time (doing everything last minute doesn't work well anymore). So tonight, I was making Lincoln's sandwich for school tomorrow and he asked me to make it in a circle (using my handy Pampered Chef tool). I told him that I would and instead of him leaving the kitchen, he begins to rub my back and belly with his hands saying "Keep it on your mind, keep it on your mind" over and over until I made the sandwich. You see, a couple days ago he asked me to make his sandwich in a circle and I forgot- he got squares and was very disappointed. So he made sure it didn't happen again! It was humorous!

Coleman for the past 2 nights has been sleeping 7 hours straight (10pm to 5am). So tonight at church he fell asleep. At 9pm he was still sleeping and I began to get concerned that his 7 hours was beginning. So, I smell his diaper and what do you know, he has a poop. I can't let him sleep in a poop, now can I? I decide he must be changed. I get him out of his car seat and begin to change his VERY poopy diaper. I must have been really concentrating on his bottom, because I failed to notice that he began to pee ON HIS FACE until he woke up and began to cry out. Poor little guy, what a rude awakening. And to add to it all, he began to poop again before I got the pee off his face or the clean diaper in place. It was amusing!

Now for the pictures-


Amy and the kids came up one Friday and we had a great time. The kids have SO MUCH fun together and Amy and I actually had conversations while they played. I miss my sister living in Cookeville!!! I have to say that Amy is amazing for many reasons, but today I am talking about her lightning fast cleaning abilities. She had my kitchen cleaned up, den dusted, and floor swept in like 10 min. Now, if you had seen my house that day, or any day for that matter, you would know that that would have taken me a good 45 minutes. It was VERY MUCH appreciated by me.... and Brad!! :)

Lincoln's soccer season began on a 47 degree Saturday! He loves soccer and will tell you that he is very good at it. He will also tell you that he is on the blue team and that blue is Jake's (one of his buddies) favorite color. Green is Lincoln's. Brad and a good friend coach the team.





Coleman's expressions at 6 weeks old.



Brad's work had an Egg Hunt. Lincoln found a Golden Egg with $10 in it. He came home and put it in his piggy bank. What a good saver!

I will post again after Easter!

I love all the pictures! The "keep your mind on it" CRACKED me up. Lincoln is a funny guy. I'm so thankful that Coleman is sleeping well for you!

Laura,
I can't believe you remember mom singing that song to you, made me cry! I love hearing stories about mom. We have joined the blogging world (www.sarahscottdamschroder.blogspot.com), but I don't have Amy's email address to let her know about it. Love you and love the pictures of the beautiful kids! Sarah
