Well, we are finally getting back to a more normal life and schedule.  Rick is back in school, I am still home and Lincoln is finally sleeping through the night!  We loving being Lincoln's parents.  He keeps us busy but we have a ton of fun.  He is growing so fast.  He last weighed in at 13.5 pounds and is at least 25 1/2 inches long.  He completely skipped wearing 3-6 months clothes and is now in 9-12 month clothes.  Every week he seems to be able to make obvious progress in his development.  He loves to go "bye bye in the truck on adventures."  Our most recent adventure was the the Long Beach aquarium.  He seemed to really like it.  Throughout the day we would catch him talking to the fish.  I was surprised that he was as interested in them as he was.

While Rick's back surgery healed his leg pain it still left one unresolved painful symptom in his lower back.  He is continuing to work with doctors to figure out additional options to cure his chronic pain.  

As for me, I am enjoying my time at home with Lincoln.  I have been able to get a lot of projects done around the house.  I am scheduled to go back to work March 10th.
