Grama, Grampa, Aunt Maralene, Aunt Deanna, Uncle Pete, and your cousins Peter and Evie all came over to keep us company on New Years Eve. Nobody really made it to midnight, though, except Lincoln.

Lincoln is born

29 DECEMBER 2009, 2:09 PM

8 lbs 14.2 oz, 21 inches long and crying heartily.


Seconds old, I'm worried that he is ok. The midwife says he's perfect. I think he looks like a crazy person...a cute, hairy, blue crazy person.

John is happy, after that long night, to meet him.


Our new family.


We made it through that first night, in shifts.



The next day: relieved and happy.

Driving home, he hardly could move in all that fluff, but he slept the whole way.

We were ready on Christmas Eve...

...but Lincoln wasn't. So we went to Dan and Deb's party and continued to wait.
