Unfortunately, induction was the only choice at this point. However, it went just fine and we spent most of the day at the hospital just waiting for something to happen.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've seen a huge difference in his fear level. He is not so much that timid little boy anymore...now he says bring on a challenge!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">His timidity has also improved in other areas too.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Even though having a ten year old makes me feel old...I love this stage in life.

I love seeing him grow and mature. What a special privilege to be his mom!</span></div>

But we love our school and I'm so thankful for their teachers who are more amazing than I could have asked for. That makes it a little easier for me to send them :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">End of the year awards are always special for me because I love to see how proud my kids are of their hard work in school, but I have to note that Ari received the Fruit of the Spirit Award. Apparently, it's a hard earned award for 3rd and 4th graders. I believe Ari has such a great class, there could have been several who deserved this award as well. But to say that I was overwhelmed for him to be picked is an understatement! Evangeline also received several awards but I was unable to get a picture. Way to go, kiddos!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here we are again, another baby has turned a year older. The other day someone asked me to describe each of my children, and the two words that came to mind for Evangeline were loving and joyful. She just exudes joy where ever she goes...something that I am learning from daily. And her tender, loving heart for others just melts mine. The number of cards and pictures she made for various people this year were countless. Her prayers at night are so thoughtful, and filled with classmates who might have had a hard day, or her teacher who was out sick, or the little chick who was born with a crooked beak.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She also has a love for animals. *sigh* One that I can relate with since I was her age once. But seeing and experiencing the responsibilities that come with pets are what's keeping us from getting one yet. She spent almost our whole time at the park the other day feeding a goat. Forty minutes feeding and petting a goat. She was having the best time and didn't have a care in the world that she was forfeiting the swing and slide. During President's Day, her class had to say what they would do if they were president...and low and behold she said she would get a dog and a cat. Apparently she thinks that's what it is going to take to have one! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's really strange to be saying that my baby is now 3! These last three years have been a bit of a blur, due to a certain child not sleeping for at least 2/3rds of his lifetime :) And now that I'm getting decent sleep, it's like I woke up and all of a sudden he is no longer a baby but an independent toddler. Yikes!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love this age for many reasons. One of the reasons is that he can communicate all of his thoughts and feelings. He was very much in to his birthday this year and turning "free". If you ask him his name, it might vary depending on his mood. For a long while he would answer "Um, Linky". It always the the "um" attached to it. Then it was "Linky Alan", then "Lincoln", then "Lincoln Alan". I'm thankful that he truly doesn't think his real name is Linky! *phew* Some how none of our other kids managed to have nicknames...bur for some reason that one must have stuck out to him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He is crazy about his big sisters and brother. Since he spends all day with Selah , he is very sentimental towards his time with the other two. He asks for hugs and kisses in carpool line before school, then when they hop out and head in to school I can hear him muttering "goodbye Evangeline..." Then when they get home he is ready to wrestle and run and fight his big brother. He is definitely the "rough and tumble" boy of the family. Even though he likes to play rough, he is still so sweet and caring to others. I especially enjoy his bedtime routine which requires me to snuggle him and sing songs. I'm not ready for him to outgrow that special time I have with him!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This girl had been counting down to her birthday for about six months. And it finally came. I like to say she is five going on 15. (What 4 year old would ask for fancy dresses and pink lip gloss?) Her eagerness to grow up is unmatched. Nearly every day she will ask if she is a little taller. Now that her fifth birthday is over, she is already planning for her sixth! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She is very particular about her clothes, and has her own unique style. She loves to wear dresses and necklaces, headbands, the works. But then there is the occasional walk-out-on-a-limb day when she wants to wear a shirt and pants. *gasp*</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She has an obsession with checking the tag of every item of clothing to see if she can hand it down to her cousin. She will go through Evangeline's clothes often and check her tags to see if any of them say 5T...which automatically just makes them hers. Score!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She loves to be silly. But at the same time she is very practical in her thinking. She keeps her silly for when she's at home, but is very practical when we are in public. She is very quiet when "outsiders" are around but is chatty-Kathy when she is comfortable with you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She always knows exactly what she wants. She loves being one of the "big" kids. She is very aware of things like: who wasn't in her Bible study class today (and if they've ever missed before), and which kid has NEVER been the line leader, and how many kids have lost a tooth. She loves drawing pictures for people, and remembers every single paper she has given to me...and wants to know where it's at if it's been moved. She drew one for her Bible study teacher and has diligently kept good care of this drawing for three weeks until we see her again. Gotta love the heart of a giver.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Speaking of lost teeth, she has already lost both of her bottom front teeth!! First one came loose on accident by biting into food wrong and fell out a month later. And to my surprise her permanent tooth was following right behind. Then her other bottom tooth came out over Spring Break. That adult tooth was coming in behind her baby one </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(making a second row of teeth)</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">...hoping that straightens out on its own.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She has been counting down the days to Kindergarten. This girl is motivated to learn how to read: she will grab a book and patiently sound out every word from beginning to end. She would come sit next to Ajia and blurt out answers to her homework. She is also determined that she will have Mrs. Plowman for her teacher. Every day in carpool line, she knocks on the window and waves hi and says "That's going to be my teacher!" I guess we will find out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As much as I want my kids to stay young and never grow up, it's also fun to see them grow and mature. I love each stage and Selah has really embraced the BIG 5 year old role. We are so proud of who she is. This little girl is going to do mighty things.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But where do I even start?! He seems so simple on the outside, but I see another side of him that is so complex. Most people would imagine a typical 9 year old boy as rowdy and rough, but he is quite the opposite.</span></div>

He is great at soccer and basketball, doesn't get all worked up about the score, but truly focuses on people having fun and playing the best he can. I've seen it over and over, him letting the ball go past so he can stop to help another player up (even someone not on his team).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Somehow I agreed to do a Spartan Race with AJ. I've never done a race before because I don't like to "race". I like to workout on my own time, and not have the pressure of hitting some goal and only having one chance to do it. But everyone kept saying "Oh, you're going to have fun." And I couldn't imagine ever saying that this was going to be fun. But I have proof in these pictures that I must have enjoyed some of it because I'm smiling!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The kids have always been great travelers, but this year we knocked an hour off our travel time to and from there! It was strange having our youngest a big 2 year old. The last who-knows-how-many years, we've always had a newborn or a one year old. I guess that extra year makes a difference. *insert tears of laughter and sorrow?! not sure how I feel about that yet</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is my workout buddy. She loves feeling so grown up she will go put on her "workout" clothes just to exercise with me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She is so independent that sometimes I forget she is 4. Seems likes she is 8 with all the help she gives me around the house with the little ones. She loves being a big sister. If the babies (they are 2 and 1 but we still call them the babies) need anything, she is already 5 steps ahead of me preparing everything I need to change a diaper, or clothes, wipe noses, etc. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maybe she is more like a 25 year old stuck in a four year old body...she has to have her clothes laid out the night before and is usually the first one dressed in the morning.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Her birthday party was rescheduled several times due to major illness that plagued our family for a month, but when it finally came she was so thrilled. This was a huge step for her because her introverted nature usually leaves her stressed out and in tears. This was the first year she didn't cry at her own party!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I thought child number 3 kept me on my toes but there are days he has given me a run for my money! Maybe rambunctious is a good word to describe him. I have had many moments where I pause and have to listen for him, otherwise he is probably off getting in to something (or drawing on something he shouldn't). Or here for instance, he decided to pull bread out of the pantry while we were all praying. AJ did a great job of keeping his composure while wrapping up prayer time while Lincoln was having a cow that he no longer gets to have this bread. *sigh*</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">His ability to speak really just burst forth right around his birthday and now he is talking up a storm. He loves to call out the other kids names when he is looking for them. He also loves to throw his head back and say "NNNOOOOO" in a groggy voice. He enjoys being funny and often times will say things in a funny voice and then will laugh at himself and run off.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The beginning of March began a terrible plaque that lasted four weeks in our house. The two babies had RSV, 5 kids had ear infections, 3 sinus infections, Evangeline passed out one day-unknown cause, and 4 of us had the respiratory flu that lasted about a week and a half each.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">AJ and I pretty much took turns round the clock holding sick babies. In fact, there weren't enough adults to child ratio that we were sitting on the couch one night and just looked at each other while we held a child and could hear others crying in their beds. These were some of our longest nights to date. No one could come help us since it was too contagious. Lincoln and Selah were both so sick on their birthdays, we had to reschedule their party twice. Somehow we managed to squeeze in a small party almost a month later.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thankfully we all finally recovered and Lincoln was back to his antics. He found this bobble head and thought this "baby" needed its bottle :) Another thing he loves doing is caring for babies, real and fake ones. He will be so enthusiastic when we are out in public that when he sees another baby he will let the entire store know by yelling "BABY!" Despite how crazy he is sometimes, he is such a nurturing child. He loves taking care of others.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We attempted to move him to a toddler bed, but after 2.5 months of him waking up 5 times a night in it we decided to put him back in the crib for our sanity. Actually, I made the decision during naptime one day when I attempted to put him back down to sleep 4 times and he continued to get out of bed and go in to the bathroom and spray water all over the place. (Did I mention we have 5 other children in the house and I don't have time for this?!) So I caved and now we are all much happier people. One day, when we don't have two babies waking up at night we might be brave to try again.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But honestly, I'm in no rush to leave the baby stage. I love the snuggles and the feeling of being needed and the special moments we have at bedtime when he wants to be rocked sung to still.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This year has been a huge year for Ari. I have seen him grow in so many ways both spiritually and emotionally. He continues to be a deep thinker and usually asks the most challenging questions at bedtime, which is when he likes to talk about his day. Then we end each night with "happy thoughts", a nightly tradition we've had for years. He still has a sensitive heart towards others and is burdened for those who are struggling with something. He loves to read and I usually find a few books that he has been working through at a time. He has been dedicated to a daily quiet time and is also very diligent in reading his Charlie Brown calendar each day. (It HAS to be on the correct date.) He is finding his balance as the oldest (a GREAT big brother) and wanting to have some alone time. We are so proud of who he is. Happy birthday!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fall break seems like such a long time ago. Partially because it was and partially because we have done lots of fun things since. We had a special trip to Culver's (and sadly I don't even remember why!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He's still hanging around the 30% in weight, even though at 24 lbs he feels like a big lug. I can't imagine a child in the 90 percentile! And for now he is average on height :)</span></div>

Some friends stepped in and brought some food, we had lots of play dates, and just enjoyed our days together before school was to start.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The dog show was a big hit for the kids, even for Lincoln! He has his own special sound when he sees a dog, so the whole show he was going "Boop boop! Boop Boop!" in a high pitch sound.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I figured no one would believe what happened the first night AJ was gone so I had to take a picture. It was one of those nights where Lincoln kept crying so at 11pm I brought him downstairs so I could finish listening to a sermon. Well out of nowhere this tree frog jumped off our fireplace mantle onto the living room floor--right in front of me!! He had dust all over him like he had been up there for a while! If I wasn't paranoid enough being the only adult in the house for 12 days, then this put me over the edge :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The kids were so excited to be able to pick daddy up from the airport, but unfortunately there were several flight delays. He was supposed to get in on his birthday and leave us a few hours to celebrate, but he didn't make it in on time. Talk about a bummer! Thankfully he did make it in the middle of the night so the kids were excited to see him the next morning.</span></div>
