Lots of Firsts

Over that past month or so, we've had many "firsts" around our house with Lane. We've had first trips to the Pediatrician, first time having Grandmas babysit (which we REALLY appreciate), first visit to Grandparents' houses, first time watching the Cardinals in the Super Bowl (well, that was a first for the world), first time to the grocery store, and first time to Church. Overall, he's handled it great and it has been a very enjoyable experience. Lane is happy and doing very well...he weighs over 8 lbs. and is healthy, strong, and GROWING. He just turned two months at the end of February, and time is flying by, especially as Nursing School is ending for Lincoln and nearing the end for Anna. We will bless Lane at our ward on March 29 at noon, and any of our friends and family are invited to attend!

Lincoln just finished his preceptorship at John C. Lincoln Emergency Room working night shifts. He had a bunch of amazing experiences and really grew and gained confidence in using his skills to practice being a Registered Nurse. He is very excited to graduate March 12 (tomorrow!) at 7 pm at the Phoenix College Auditorium. Anna has had clinical rotations at Del Webb Hospital and St. Joseph's Hospital and finishes these clinicals this week. From here on out, she just has regular class exams and finals in April before doing her 8-shift preceptorship and graduating in May. Anna also got a new church calling, what she calls her "dream calling". She is the Den Mom for the Wolves in Cub Scouts! She has already attended a couple of meetings and the Pinewood Derby. Lincoln continues as the Elders Quorum President, and this Saturday his Elders Quorum has an activity where they are playing a basketball game against the High Priests and Young Men in the ward.

We are loving every moment as parents, and are trying to treasure each moment. Here are a few pictures scattered over that past month or so.

Most of the time, Lane is as calm as a lamb....




But sometimes, he can be a lion.....

























First time all together with new cousins Kendee (left) and Piper (right) Eagar. In the top picture, Lane's facial expression cracks us up. If he could talk, he might be saying, "Kendee, did you see that?"
