Dancing like his papa

A year ago, when we were thinking of non-toy Christmas gifts, Grandma Jan asked about gifting Lincoln virtual reality. My dad would have loved this Oculus VR she gave to Lincoln. And when I watch Lincoln play Beat Saber, getting his groove on to the variety of songs, I have to laugh thinking about my dad dancing around too.

Hockey season

Lincoln's hockey season is well underway. He had a small set back in December when he broke his collarbone, but he was back on the ice in just over 4 weeks and eager to get back out there. It's been non-stop since! 

He is in his final year of Mites, and the association has a lot of exciting things for these 3rd graders to keep them excited and involved in hockey. 


One of the highlights is when the 3rd graders get to be flag bearers at a Varsity hockey game. And bonus, Lincoln has been able to do it twice! He loves skating with those big boys, and man are they great to those little kiddos. 


Regan's friend-TJ is extra sweet to Lincoln (TJ's little sister happens to be a classmate of Lincoln's). He always looks out for Lincoln who lights up when he sees him. 


This month has also been filled with loads of practices and scrimmages. Sometimes doing twice/day! He's really come a long way in the last several years, working on his skating skills and stick handling. It's incredible to look back and remember he could barely stay upright just a few years ago. 


He's made some good buddies and learned a lot not only about the sport and game, but also about teamwork and working together. 
Sports are good for life-long lessons.
