Ok, ok...I know you aren't reading this to get my views on the big "changes" Obama is making. You want to know what's going on with our little angel who shares his name with the very first Republican President! Am I right?
Well to say we've been busy is a gross understatement. We've had so many wonderful visitors and moved houses in between our guests. First, Auntie Kelley and her boyfriend Tim (who by the way was very nice and got our stamp of approval) stopped by on their way to Virginia. Lincoln was ecstatic to meet his first-time Aunt and she naturally doted on him as was expected. Here are a couple of photos.

As always, it was wonderful seeing them again and of course, Lincoln loved meeting more family! And Riley is getting soooo big. It was a great preview of what having a toddler will be like!

RileyFinally, Nonna Munson and Auntie Wendy came and stayed with us in our new house. Their stay was timed very nicely as Nick had to go out of town for business. Unfortunately, we weren't as good at getting photos during their stay, so we will have to post these once we get copies from Nonna. Actually, we will post photos of Nonna and Lincoln since Wendy doesn't love her nephew enough to have a couple of snapshots taken!
So unlike our President's big changes, our big news is that we had a successful one this month! We are finally settled in our new house. It's so nice having a back yard for Holly Bear and not having 30 stairs to climb to go to bed! Can you believe that Lincoln is already 5 weeks old!?! He is becoming a real chubsters and seems to be hungry all of the time. This week we started a night time routine of bottle, bath, book and bed in his new nursery. Putting him down in his nursery was a big step for Mommy. We're still having him sleep in the bassinet when he wakes up for his first night feeding, but we thought it best to get him started on a routine and sleeping in his beautiful crib (thanks to the McCarthy's!). Last night he slept in the crib for about 4 hours before waking up! That's a pretty big step for us and Mommy is feeling better about not having him right next to us all of the time.
That's about all the news right now. We hope everyone is doing well and we can't wait for more visitors. We have plenty of room so if you are in SC, stop by. We would love to see you!
Love~Nick, Holly, Lincoln, Holly Bear and Jilly-Bean
