Thanksgiving Recap

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - we spent the weekend hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa King's with a nice stopover at Grandma and Grandpa Hauner's.


Lincoln started his weekend with his usual inspection of the family store. Here he is testing out some of the equipment in the new rental store. It appears sturdy enough to support Lincoln's weight.

And here he is inspecting Grandpa King's sales technique as he checks out the features of this vacuum cleaner.

After a tough day at the store, Lincoln napped while the rest of the family practice their shooting skills. Here's a picture of me and Tracy trying out the shotguns.  

...and no holiday would be complete without an obligatory embarrassing bath photo.  How many kids can say that they got to take a bath in a utility sink?

Meet Mr. Duck Tub

Recently we noticed that Lincoln was getting a bit big for his baby tub - the water level was just barely high enough to cover his legs - not very warm and cozy for a winter bath. He's wasn't quite ready for the *big* tub, though, since he's still a little guy. At Target last weekend I found the perfect solution - the Duck Tub!! This inflatable tub is just big enough for Lincoln to splash around in without having to fill the entire big tub. He loves it - especially the giant duck head that quacks when you pinch his beak.

America's next top model

This weekend Lincoln modeled some outfits from his new fall collection. In the first, he's showing his continued support for the Huskers. In the second, he's showing his support for the U.S. troops.

Smelly Halloween

This isn't Lincoln's first Halloween, but it is the first Halloween where he got to go Trick-or-Treating. Our first stop on Halloween night was Tracy and Joni's house, where Lincoln got to try out his T or T skills and get some yummy candy. We then took him to some houses in our new neighborhood and met some of the neighbors. They are all very nice!

The photo at left is a good picture of his whole costume - you can see the fat tummy and the skunky tail.

Below, you can see that Lincoln took some time out to pose with Scott and me and with Joni. In the photo on the right you can see how happy he is to have some Teddy Grahms. When he really likes something he chews for a bit, then opens his mouth as wide as possible so everyone can see what he's eating.
