Lincoln - Newborn

Tue June 10th, 2008 Personal, Portraits

As most of you know, last Tuesday was my daughter’s first day of Kindergarten summer school. Big day for me, right? Well you would all be proud. I didn’t cry a drop. I held it in and stayed strong as I feared the second a tear would break loose then Olivia would start crying too. So there I was, shopping at Wal-Mart getting Olivia a little “surprise” so when she got out of school I would have something to give her as a “atta girl…I’m so proud of you”. My cell phone rings and it’s my sister. Her voice has this joy that can’t be described, her daughter, Kelsie was IN LABOR. I mean, REAL Labor this time. She was in the car on the way to the hospital and had to call and tell me. It was THEN that I started crying. The happiness that came over me was nothing short of overwhelming. As I stood there holding the Hannah Montana shirt in my hand I cried. So happy for what was about to happen to my beloved niece. So excited about the miracle that was about to happen. Lincoln was born just a few short hours after that call and thus began my impromptu road trip Friday to make a surprise visit to my niece and her husband and the new angel that entered their lives. After 2 hours of a car ride I LEAPED out of the car and SKIPPED into the house. Olivia I think was EVEN MORE excited to see LEANCON (hee hee) than me (if that’s possible). My eyes quickly focused on one of the most precious things I have ever seen……..there he laid. Four days old, seven pounds light and a whole 20 inches long. :)

Ahhh Lincoln…you are so young and so new….you have no idea what a blessing you are. I’m so glad Aunt Heather and Olivia got to come see you for a few hours and take your picture. I LOVE YOU.

hmmmm….this makes me want to snuggle……

His Great Grandpa was shining down on him. :)

I love this shot I grabbed of Kelsie, her mom and Lincoln.

Livy was so excited to see Lincoln!!!

Daddy, Mommy and Lincoln. :)

This is one of my favorite images of the day…

Are you kidding me? Seriously…could he be any cuter?

Another fav…… :)

I love this picture of my sister. She’s so beautiful and so HAPPY! :)

Happy heart. :) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture of Brandon and his son. :)

Of course I couldn’t leave without a picture of me and him. I wasn’t excited to hold him at all! HHHAHAAAHAH!

Congrats Kelsie and Brandon. I love you both and I’m so happy I was able to see you and take pictures of Lincoln that will bring you happiness for years to come. :)
