!!! WE GOT HIM !!!

Lincoln Andrew Dykes is officially a member of our family.

We have a birth certificate to prove it!!

Of course, it is in Cyrillic but it is real trust us. ;)

Today was a fantastic, wonderful, beautiful day. But it was a whirl-wind of a day. A lot more happened today than we anticipated. Lincoln was a trooper through it all. He has been such a good boy all day. We will fill you in on all the details when I get a chance to write it all up. But for now here are some of our special moments from the day…


A brand new outfit for our special day.











Heading down the stairs of the Baby House.







We made it outside!!









First moments at home.








First nap at home. He fought hard not to fall asleep but between a nice warm bottle of formula (made by Mommy) and cuddles from Daddy he gave in after 30 minutes of fussy, cranky, crying.







Second nap at home. Again he fought hard not to fall asleep but after cuddling with Mommy for 40 minutes he gave up. This was the first time he has ever fallen asleep for me. Yeah I can do it, Eric can actually go back to work. :)

We are soooo soooo happy for you! I should have waited until I got home to read this however. I hate crying at work! Good thing I was alone today.
Lincoln doesn't look he objected to his snow suit to much.
Now the fun begins! Can't wait for you to get home.
Love
Mom xo

Yeah, GOTCHA day! Congrats Eric, Kami, and Lincoln you are an offical family!

I dont think i have ever seen biggger smiles on your faces than in that family picture. You can feel the love come through the camera lens.

Now all of the struggles, trials, and tribulations begin to pay off in rewards that you can't possibly have imagined.

I love all three of you. I cant wait to give you each a big hug and smoother Lincoln with kisses.

Congratulations!

Sounds like you guys are having the time of your life over there.

Won't be long and Lincoln will be napping comfortably in his new yellow beetle bed.

The three of you make a great family and are lucky to have each other!

I am so happy for you guys. Congratulations!! Lincoln didn't seem to be having any problem at all being away from the baby house. I think he knew it was the day he finally belonged to you and Eric. A part of real family. And lucky you he slept through the night. Enjoy your weekend with your son and travel safe.
Love always,
Love
