Photos galore

Naturally we have been taking more pictures since Lincoln arrived, 11 days ago already. 

How can you not photograph a dreamboat baby? 

So, when the "three bigs," as I refer to them now, see the camera, they are much more likely to ask to be photographed as well. 

Therefore, I have some pictures to share some with captions, others without. 

Katrina's math this week introduced a bit of algebra and Papa jumped at the opportunity to teach her the concepts. She caught on immediately and we have determined that she likely has her father's engineering mind. 

Homeschooling has been such a blessing to our family and this week all three bugs participated in some fun science experiments. Of course, Katrina insisted they wear protective eye gear! 

Katrina received a target gift card from Grandpa and Nana and used the first few dollars to buy some glasses she has had her eye on. They're not prescription glasses but she wears them like she needs them! 

She continues to be an incredible help to all of us in the family and we are so grateful for her positive attitude with the heightened responsibility she has recently assumed. 

Joel has probably had the most difficult time adjusting to Lincoln's arrival into our home. However, one week after we came home from the hospital, he seems to have transitioned quite well into the position of third-born of four children. The beginning of the week brought many tears and many tantrums but today had brought many smiles and many laughs. We praise God for extending us grace to extend in Joel's direction. 

And Lincoln. What can I say? He is a dreamboat. We are in love with him and his presence in our family. We continue to be amazed at God's goodness and graciousness in granting us the desire of our heart when it comes to family size. 

We are a family of 6 and loving it!
