quick update

lincoln is still loving school. he really loves getting to go every day and (so far) hasn't had any problems with it. i'm still enjoying getting a couple of hours every day to myself!
scott and i took lincoln to the fair one night. scott's parents kept lexi for us so that we would be able to enjoy our short time there a little more easily. we ate lots of delicious food, went to the petting zoo, and lincoln rode lots of rides (mostly by himself, but he rode this one - the "tornado"- with his daddy):

the guys at the Army National Guard booth told scott that they'd give him a free t-shirt and football if he'd ride the mechanical bull, so he did. it was his first time to ever do so, and he stayed on for a good 20 seconds.

babygirl loves tomatoes.

Lexi girl is having to have tubes put in her ears in a couple of weeks. she has had 7 ear infections in 7 months. no good! i will be glad to have the surgery over with and have a healthier little girl! i'm sure she'll enjoy not being in pain anymore and actually being able to hear clearly!
life is good with us. busy, as always. i'm trying to blog as often as i get the opportunity but this is really a crazy time of year! but hey- 2 so far in sepetember isn't too shabby!
