It's been a while. Again. So we'll do a little catching up.
You probably know that the kids spent spring break in Kentucky. And there was a bit of excitement that, unfortunately, even Mom and Dad missed. Lincoln lost his first tooth!
Just the previous week, the dentist had felt it, a little loose, and figured it might come out at the end of April. So much for that.
Here it is, already much more loose, at Grandy's house before going to Steak 'n Shake.
There it's not, after falling out at Steak 'n Shake.
And here it is, in his hand.
Last Sunday, the day after Mom brought the kids back home, Levynn also lost a tooth, her sixth. (And Lincoln got a nice haircut.)
Then it was report card day on Friday. Levynn's streak of straight As ended, with a sturdy B in math, but the rest of her grades were As. Lincoln, you may recall, gets "beginning to develop," "partially developed," and "well-developed" on his report card, and he went from being well-developed in 24 of 38 categories last term to well-developed in 37 out of 40 now. He went from beginning to partially in one other category and went straight to partially in two new categories.

We went to the monthly family day at the Museum of Contemporary Art yesterday, as we often do. Lincoln was enticed by the theme of "deconstruction." Most of the activities involved taking something apart to build something new. At one station, Lincoln yanked some clay off a structure and worked with Dad to make a fearsome serpent. Check out the fangs!
And today came a moment that's been coming for a long time. Levynn's beloved, threadbare Pink Bear was retired. But she wasn't thrown away. No, no, no.
She got the royal treatment. She gets to sit at Levynn's bedside in a lovingly decorated display box forevermore.
