Hello there! It's only been a whole month or more since I last posted. Sheesh! I keep saying I'll do better but honestly I just don't know when. Our family just returned from our first vacation with Lincoln. It was a blast! We drove all the way to Outer Banks, North Carolina. This is where I grew up going every summer and Lucas and I couldn't wait to take Lincoln! We went with several friends too! Aunt Sindi was there and so was Aunt Nanci and Uncle Adam with cousin Emmi. Karli, Kyle and buddy Trace were there too! And Kyle, Angie, Jamie, and Brian! We just had the best time. It wasn't very relaxing...with 3 one year olds, but it was very enjoyable. We did have to make a trip to the urgent care while we were there because little man had a double ear infection! I just knew he was getting sick when he left home but I thought maybe just a cold. Nope. Poor guy. He actually wasn't too grumpy, just very tired and not normally himself. We got a round of antibiotics in him and he was good to go!
It was so nice spending a week with my sister Sindi too, who lives in North Carolina. Lincoln had so much fun getting lots of attention from her! Sindi was great in planning most of the vacation too...especially dinners! They were delicious! We also had a special fun pirate night and it was hilarious!
Here are some pics from our week!
Our little man, all smiles!
Love those blue eyes...
Lincoln really loved climbing the outdoor stairs. He has become very good at climbing stairs lately. He is our little monkey!
My two favorite boys :)
Drinking the water from the "fountain!"
Here is our first family beach picture!
Lincoln LOVED the ocean! He really liked to stand and let the water splash up against his legs. A few times it splashed him in the face and he would just laugh! He also liked to feel the sand on his feet, especially when the tide would go back out. A few times he tried to escape our grasp to run right into the water but we wouldn't let him. :)
Linc and Trace! Trace is my cousin Karli's son who was born just 3 days after Lincoln! :)
The Custer's and the DeShong's! Adam, Nanci and Emmiline
Aunt Sindi (with some wind blown hair :) )
Here he is sporting his cover up from GiGi and Grandad.
Here is Lincoln playing in our makeshift baby pool on the beach!
Hanging with Aunt Sindi!
Cousin Em! At this point Lincoln was so over pictures. He might actually be eating sand in this picture!
This was probably take forty of trying to get a picture of all 3 kiddos on the beach. Oh well, it was worth the try! They are still so cute!
