Another fun weekend

This past weekend we had the pleasure of Auntie Cheri coming to visit! She is Salyna's brother's wife. Her brother passed away a little over four years ago and we had not seen Cheri since then. That means she got to meet Andrew AND Lincoln for the first time! The visit was too short but packed with fun, lots of talking and reminiscing! On Saturday night we all (minus Lincoln - thanks Ms. Pat!) went to a monster truck and motocross show. What a blast!! Andrew loved the motorcycles and kept telling us he wanted to ride one. Davis was SO tired, he actually fell asleep... with his ear plugs in! It was a fun night and a great redneck tribute to Ronnie, Salyna's brother. During the drive home that night Cheri was treated to an amazing Kansas lightning show.

(the earplugs were quite funny sticking out of the kids ears... remind anyone of Shrek?)


(Right before falling asleep)
Lincoln is growing like crazy. Last week he weighed 12lbs and we think he has gained more weight since then. He is in the process of changing his schedule - AGAIN. Eating about every 4 hrs now and sleeping more at night gives mom and dad a little more down time. We are feeling a lot older now than we did with Sydni that's for sure! We took for granted that the older kids all sleep so well... now we have another one to train!
(10 wks old now!)
Salyna has been struggling a little bit with having more pain and fatigue. Springtime is always a hard time for her to pace herself but is quickly learning what works with having Lincoln and what doesn't, i.e. babies cannot breathe very well in the Kansas wind & Andrew knows mommy can't run very fast while holding the baby! We are thankful for all the space at World Impact for the older kids to play and all the trees that give shade for Salyna to sit in. We pray that she will not have to go back on any harsh medication.
Miles' job continues to be "more than a job"... as he spends a lot of time investing in people and not perishable things. Of course there are always things that have to eventually get done but it is seeing the heart change of others that drives him. What an amazing work the Lord is doing in the lives of so many!
