9 Days Down, only 6565 left!

Our Beautiful Work of Art


Well Lincoln has officially been with us for 9 days and we honestly can't imagine our lives without him. He is such a blessing and really a calm baby. He fusses some when he is hungry but other than that, he just chills out. We've taken him to restaurants, shopping and out on errands and he just sleeps or relaxes. He doesn't seem to be phased by anything. He wakes up a couple of times during the night to eat but it's back to sleeping right afterwards. So I guess we're very lucky. And Lincoln had his first appointment and the Pediatrician says all is well. His umbilical chord also fell off this weekend. He's growing up so fast....sob, sob. We only have 6565 days until he turns 18! Can you believe it?

Oh and Holly is doing very well too. She is moving around much better and is even talking about going back to the gym. In fact she got approval from her Doctor to start walking. If you know Holly, you know she can't just sit and relax. That must be why Lincoln wanted to come join us 2 weeks early!

A Happy Family

The beginnings of a Cowboys Fan

During Lincoln's first week of life, Oma and Opa Squires came and visited. It was great having them around and we can't wait for them to come visit again. In fact, we had to make sure they didn't try to steal him away from us by putting a stuffed animal in his bassinet! :-) They are definitely the proud first-time grandparents. And of course, we can't wait for Meemaw Munson to come visit, along with his Aunts. We're going to have a steady flow of visitors in the coming weeks, which we absolutely can not wait for! First time Aunt Kelley will be by this weekend with her boyfriend Tim. And then right afterwards Chris, Joe, Debbie, Megan and Riley McCarthy are stopping by on their way up the East Coast. It will be so nice to see them again! And then Meemaw Munson, Auntie Wendy and cousin Jennifer will be staying with us for a few days. They'll be the first visitors in our new house. Right around the 14th of July, we will be moving from our beautiful townhouse on the lake to a single family home with a backyard. We figured it would be better for us since there won't be as many stairs and of course the backyard will be so much better for Holly-Bear, who by the way has adjusted pretty well to our new addition.

So that's pretty much the news after week 1. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. I hope everyone enjoys these updates. If not, oh well. We'll keep on typing them and you can decide if you want to read them or not. We miss everyone and enjoy the pictures! P.S.~ Go Cowboys!

Lincoln and a $65 Stuffed Animal...ridiculous :-)
