June 11th rolled around and Lincoln Jeffrey Nichols completed his final day of kindergarten. I can hardly believe it! It was a great year. He was blessed with an awesome teacher, Mrs. Soto, who had grace, patience and love for her class of 12 kiddos. Lincoln had his moments of struggling with sitting still and not being too silly, but those trials just helped him grow all the more. Best of all, he now knows how to read! I am always amazed how children learn to read. Lincoln also finished out the year being in the top reading group! By God's grace, he was focused enough to accomplish such a feat. So, onto first grade, though where he'll go we have not yet decided. Praying for God's wisdom in what continues to be a big decision for us.
We love you Lincoln-boy!
Happy Father's Day to Jeffrey Nichols, the blessing God has given us. Thank you Jeff for striving to fight your sin daily by relying on the Holy Spirit. You encourage me to do the same. I praise God every day for chosing to save you (and me) and teaching us daily how to be better spouses and parents. I love you! 
Here's that cute boy in his costume after the show.
Since Lincoln had been singing the songs for weeks and had basically taught the whole misical to Jackson in the weeks prior, we thought Jackson would enjoy seeing why his brother had taught him these silly songs. Afterward, we went to Mirabelle's for dessert. Its fun to go have a treat once in a while. Grandpa and Grandma Nichols came to see Lincoln's performance and Grandpa and Grandma Bouterie did as well and joined us for dessert!
