It's been awhile since I've posted. Christmas was very nice. It seemed more low stress this year than ever before. Thanks to family and friends for wanting to spend time with each other rather than spend lots of money on presents! I didn't take a lot of pictures, but I did use my video camera for the first time. Hopefully I will download the footage soon :)
We had a nice New Year's Eve dinner at Boston's. I've been craving the Chicken Parmesan Pizza and the Ice Cream Sundae. I got both! Jefferson had the pizza and apple crisp. Yummy. We went home and played Wii (cause it's been like a year since we've played) and then counted down to 2009.
Lincoln is now 13 weeks old. Today he is exactly 3 months (Oct 7 - Jan 7). He is such a good boy. Yesterday I went back to work and it was his first day at day care. Luckily he is at the day care at school so it is super convenient. He did well the first day. I, on the other hand, was exhausted. I always forget how hard it is to go back to work. Plus I had activity days at 4 at my house. Wow. My good friend down the street brought us dinner. It's nice to have such thoughtful neighbors. I am grateful that I am just working every other day!
I will try and post some more pictures soon.

Christmas Letter
Merry Christmas! It's that time of year to reflect over everything that has happened the previous year and share with family and friends. You can see some of our exciting news on the blog. But it's still fun to recap.
Jefferson is working for Pine Canyon Electric. He has been pretty busy with work, so we are grateful for that. In the ward he has been teaching the CTR 7 class (6 boys and 1 girl). They are pretty fun kids (I taught with him until Lincoln was born). He also fills the font for the stake primary baptisms. Throughout the year he has been the go-to guy for family and friends fixing cars, wiring basements, and other little fixes. It's nice to have such a handyman around the house. Especially because he enjoys all the little projects (well, most of them anyway).
Lindsay is teaching at Davis High. Last school year I taught Computer Technology, Fashion Merchandising, and Travel and Tourism. At the end of the year when I was 5 months pregnant I found out I could go part-time and still keep insurance (although I pay a ton more for it). So this year I am only teaching on B-days and only teaching Computer Technology. It is a great schedule that helped me return to school 8 months pregnant! I found a student teacher to take over for me while on maternity leave and everything has been working out great. I return to school in January with Lincoln at the school's daycare. In the ward I was teaching primary with Jefferson and doing Activity Days with the 8 year old girls. Since Lincoln was born I am only doing Activity Days which is pretty fun. It is definitely and age group I am not used to!
Lincoln is now 2 months old and growing so fast. His 0-3 month clothes are too tight! He is smiling and loves to talk. I am excited to see him continue to grow! He is a favorite with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. I am glad he is so loved!
We are grateful for such a happy year. With our new addition to the family we also added 2 sisters-in-law on my side and Jefferson's side added a new niece with another on the way in January. Plus the 2 new cousins for Lincoln on my side coming in May.
We wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Healthy & Happy New Year! Please catch us up with what you are doing via email or the comments. We'd love to hear from you!
Love: Jefferson, Lindsay & Lincoln Porter

Lincoln's Blessing
Today I am taking it easy with Lincoln. He has been a little stuffy and fussy. It's snowing outside so I am happy to be inside where it is warm with my Christmas lights on and Christmas music in the CD player. What a great day. :)
