A Few Moments

It's been awhile since I had any time to write about our new life with two babies, so let me fill you in:

IT'S CHAOS.

Seriously, I've become one of those moms who can't get out of the house on time no matter how much advanced planning there is. We are going through so many diapers that we are looking into buying some Pampers stock to recoop our costs. And I think I've truly forgotten what silence sounds like.

I know all you veteran moms are thinking, "Ha, she's only just begun" - so I'm doing my best to enjoy what I know is time that will go amazingly quickly. And we are having a lot of fun . . .

Easter was great. Grace and Link looked adorable in their Easter-fancies and at the end of the day we came home with about 22 lbs of candy. (Grace has eaten at least her weight in jelly beans over the last few weeks)

Now that the weather is finally turning, we're anticipating a great summer. Here is a brief preview -

May: Rolfes family weekend trip to Mammoth Caves, KY

May-Sept: every possible weekend spent at the River house

June: Jason & Katie's wedding

with plenty of trips to the zoo, Grandma's pool and who-knows what else in between!

So that's all I got for now . . . and of course some more great pictures (since I know that's what you really want)

No caption necessary.

LOL
Lincoln loves holidays!

A Few More Pictures

I hate to brag, but COULD THEY BE ANY CUTER?!?

A few Easter activities:

Posing for an Egg-cellent picture & Having fun at an Egg hunt

And Now, the Moment You've All Been Waiting For -

Making his online debut .. .. .. Lincoln Thomas

(aka Baby Link or Stinkin' Lincoln)

Things are going great at home - we're all getting just enough sleep to function at a basic level and enjoying getting to know Link one day at a time.

Just a Quick Post

I only have enough energy for a quick update --
Lincoln Thomas Edwards was born at 11:45 PM on Wednesday, March 18th!!
He weighed a healthy 9 lbs, 3 oz and is nearly 22 inches long.
Everybody's doing great and looking forward to going home sometime tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

We'll put up some pictures of our handsome little man as soon as possible, but don't expect too much too soon :).

We LOVE visitors, so don't hesitate to give us a call and arrange to stop in.

BEWARE - Partial Nudity Below

Obviously I have not had this baby yet (or I would probably not have the time to update this blog), but I have something almost as exciting to offer our faithful blog-readers . . .
Pictures of my enormous 39 week belly. As you may remember we have taken 1 picture each trimester, so here's the final installment. I can't believe I posting this picture, but I know you're all just dying to see it :)

And in case you haven't gotten enough belly - here is Grace, being her adorable self and giving the "baby" hugs and kisses.

I promise that the next pictures will include the face of the newest member of the Edwards family - I CAN'T WAIT!
