Finger Foods

Lincoln has started eating more solid foods now.

He really likes carrots.
He makes some really funny faces. These are just
two of his most recent ones. What a Ham!

House

We found a house that we really liked and are now

in the process of trying to buy it. This is the Master

Bedroom.

The Kitchen.

Family room.

Extra Bedroom upstairs. This will eventually be

Lincoln's room.

This will be Lincoln's room right now.

We think it is pretty cute. That

is just the upstairs. We don't have any

pictures of the downstairs right now.

San Francisco

The First week of January Craig went to San Francisco

on Business, I was able to go there for the weekend.

My family offered to watch Lincoln for us so we could have a mini

vacation. It was really hard for me to leave him considering it

was the first time I have ever left him for longer than a couple of

hours but once I was gone everything was ok. However,

I did miss him tons. It was nice for Craig and I to get

away.

We took a tour on a bus around the city to

see all the sites. It was kind of long but

we got to see lots of neat things. The bus

stopped lots of times but only one of the stops

had food so we paid tons for a lunch that really

wasn't any good.

San Francisco City from the top of Twin Peaks.
We rode the cable cars several times when we
were there they were a lot of fun. The weather
was wonderful while we were there. It was a
nice change from here.
Craig in the Middle of Lombard Street. We decided
to get off the cable car and walk down Lombard and
over to the pier it was tons of walking and we were exhausted
by the time we got home.
We were able to go to Alcatraz one of the days
it was very neat. Both of us really wanted to
go so we were very glad to be there.
In solitary confinment at Alcatraz.

This is where friends and family came to visit

prisoners they could only look and talk through

this little window.

next to one of the grounds uniforms.

One of the jail cells, it was scary in there

On the pier we went to a donut shop and got

a huge bucket of mini donuts. Oh Yummy!

Us by the Golden Gate Bridge.

Our last day in San Francisco we went ate Crepes

for Breakfast on the Pier and then went on a drive

by the Golden Gate Bridge. Me in the car after

looking down over the city.

8 Months

Lincoln is now 8 months old and what a joy he is. He has such a

cute personality and is getting so big.
Lincoln is finally starting to get some hair so I
had to do it in a mowhawk. Isn't he cute.

He is starting to move all over the house. He just

pulls himself where ever he wants to go. Today

he actually got his knees up under him and looked

like he was going to crawl. He is going to be

moving all over before we know it.

I am trying to get Lincoln to eat a few things on his own

so I bought a few new finger foods. This is lincoln

eating one of them He couldn't quite chew it

very good yet but he sure liked sucking on it.
He kept putting the whole thing in his mouth.

We got this bucket to put all of Lincoln's toys

in so they weren't all over the floor. However,

he actually loves just sitting in the bucket.
What a good little boy. It is amazing how fast he

has grown up.

Christmas in Oregon!

We went to Oregon for Christmas this year. Instead

of going close to Christmas and staying for New Years

we went a week early and were able to see the Truckers

Parade. They decorate logging trucks with Lights and drive down

the street. It is fun to go see all the trucks.

We wanted to take the kids but it was pouring

rain so we left them home. Maybe next time

they can go. Lincoln would love the lights.

Lincoln and Claire on Christmas

Sunday. Aren't they so cute.

They almost look like twins.

They both wanted to have that one finger

in their mouth it was really funny.

I just love these two aren't they so cute!
We drove to Snowriver to stay at a house in
the snow for Christmas. This is a picture taken
from our window in the car on the way. There
was tons of snow and isn't it pretty.
All the cousins on the couch. Poor Drew was sick
so he wasn't very happy about getting his picture
taken.
When we got to Sunriver we went and found
a Christmas tree and cut it down. It is fun to
find our own Christmas tree. I found it and
Scott and Andy cut it down.
Grandma Liz and Lincoln. He loves to hold on to
people's hair and also likes to pull it.

Such a cutie! He was such a good boy.

There was a swimming pool at Sunriver that

we took the kids to. It wasn't very warm

but Lincoln sure liked being there.

The three babies.

He sure loved that little ball.

Christmas eve pj's. Grandma and Grandpa Fryer
