Lincoln

My life is crazy-full right now, but today I chose to push pause!
 
You see, two weeks ago, my sister (in law) gave birth to this little miracle.
 His name is Lincoln.
And I am so very thankful to be his Auntie, that I HAD to stop everything to spend the afternoon cuddling him!
 
I adore babies, like really, truly, absolutely adore them.  All. of. them.
 
But this little guy has a really special spot in my heart.  I have joked that I will not be as excited about a baby that is not my own again until I am a Grandma!  Little Lincoln is a long awaited miracle, and it makes my heart so happy to have him here.
 
He is also truly the sweetest, easiest baby I have ever seen.  He seriously did not even let out one cry all afternoon - and that is the norm!  I am not sure how my sometimes spicy sister managed to give birth to an angel baby, but she certainly did!  He is pinch-me-perfect!
 
 Joshua agreed!
 
He is BABY CRAZY!  On the drive to see Lincoln he told me, "I get to hold baby Lincoln.   I get to feed him and burp him.  But I will let you change his diaper!  That part is kind of gross!"
 
Auntie Teresa must have read his mind because Joshua got to hold Lincoln first!
 
As you can see, he was very proud!
Two miracle sons, snuggled up together!
 
My heart is full of gratitude tonight as I thank God for answered prayers.
 
Congratulations Teresa and Jeremy.  It was beyond fun to see you as parents.  You are doing such a good job caring for your precious little son.
