Our countdown has begun!

Since the tickets are booked and we're officially flying home next month... I decided it would be fun to make a little countdown chart for the kids and I to mark each day until we leave. Lincoln and I had so much fun putting it together while the other kids were taking their naps. It felt like Christmas as I laid in bed last night trying to fall asleep thinking about coming back to Utah to spend time with our families! I hardly slept a wink!
We also decided to make a chart for Lincoln to mark his progress with giving up the binky. He just hasn't been able to let go of it. Now that he's officially a big boy with potty training, we're working on becoming a big boy with no binky. He's gone two days without it so far (he usually only has it for naps and bedtime... but since he was in the hospital, he's wanted it a lot more.)
If he goes 12 more days (2 weeks total counting the two he's already done), then he gets to go to the store and pick out a new toy! He's pretty psyched. I think he's more excited about going on the big airplane and finding all of his cousins again. He's been talking about finding his Grandmas all day long! I love it.

I can't wait! Sorry if I didn't sound that excited this morning when you called--I really am, I'm just having the worst day! Thank you for giving me one thing to smile about today!
