Team i6 Takes on Weeks 141 & 142

The past few weeks have been filled with lots going on.
We've had the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, and we made it to family services and went to Tashlik with our temple congragation at Lake Fairfax.  Linc had a good time playing and tossing bread into the stream.

We did RH dinner with The Alderson's which was blogged about in my week 22 bumpdate.

That week seemed to fly by and on Friday we took Linc to his very first Circus.  We went with his best girl, Miss J, and they had a super great time.  Carsten got us all tickets and we were - kid you not - front row, ring side seats.  We could reach out and touch the ring.  It was a nice small circus, very kiddo friendly.  No elephants or tigers, just people performers & a few horses & a couple of rescue doggies they had do some agility type tricks.  It was fun and entertaining and the kids thought it was great!  Here were some of the good shots I got.

The kids pretending to be acrobats, lol

Saturday we decided to check out the Dulles Days Plane Pull, which is a charity event benefiting The Special Olympics.  A bunch of companies and groups get together and raise money and compete to see who can pull a 747 FedEx plane a certain amount of feet in the fastest time, tug of war style.  There were also TONS of planes and helicopters,and trucks there to see, so of course Lincoln was in heaven.  It was a fun way to spend our day.

Sunday we finally resumed our Gymboree classes, but not for too much longer, sadly we have decided that we think Linc has gotten all he can get out of it.  We are going to take a break and maybe find something new for him to do this winter. 
 But after that we went and ran some errands and looked at some new furnature for Lincoln for his new big boy room.  We found some we loved and made the purchase so we are super excited and now we have to actually start cleaning out that room and painting and getting it ready for him to move into!  So exciting!  He keeps saying that he wants a fire truck room so I think that is what we are going with.

Nothing too exciting happened during this most recient work week, same old same old.  Linc is settling into preschool pretty well and is getting to know his new classmates.  He has even been paired up with a "Big Buddy" there who will help him get to know the routines more and "mentor" him.  

Well, that's all I've got for now...I am way too exhausted to ellaborate more on the week.  But I am sure there will be a jam packed update next week.  And I am just happy to say I am caught up on blogging for now.  Whew.
