When Lincoln was about a year old, we ordered a book with pictures about his first year of life. It narrates them as they are in my belly, born, and doing all the things they do. So we wanted to get Lauren a book like this as well. She was excited, to say the least, to have a book about her. She and Lincoln had little quarrels over his book earlier. She insisted that it was her that was the baby in his book, but of course he had to tell her it was him! We enjoyed watching her emotions as she looked through the pages.

Did you know we had a day in March that was 83 degrees?!! It was crazy! But we loved the break from the cold! This particular day wasn't 83, but it was beautiful. When we left a park one afternoon, we stopped at a lemonade stand. These two tween girls were charging $1 per cup of lemonade. Holy cow! Inflation, my oh my!
Lincoln hoped we could have a lemonade stand as well. We made the lemonade, found some small stools, made the poster, prepared a money box, etc. We probably waited 20 minutes before anyone stopped. Lincoln intently tried to wave down every car! Some of our neighbors came by and we quickly sold out. Lincoln and Lauren were in heaven. Of course, they aren't in the lemonade business to make money, nor did he care much about the coins:) One of the things I'm learning as a parent, is that I find so much joy watching my children's reactions to experiences. I love watching their anticipation for visits to friends and family, finding a joke so hilarious they can hardly breathe, etc.
