Lincoln David Erickson has arrived

Lincoln David Erickson
October 30th, 2008
born at 3:15 pm
8 pounds 9.6 ounces
20 1/4 inches long
14 1/2 inch head circumference
We came home from the hospital on Halloween (and after many name changes...sorry for those who were misinformed early on). The kids got dressed up and went out with Daddy. We couldn't find the pea in a pod costume but decided that that was okay with him being so young even if it was just to take pictures if he didn't get dressed up.
The kids are adjusting well. It sure is nice to have my mom here right now. She is making it possible for me to get rest and I appreciate her coming each time I have another baby. She is such a big help and the older kids have such a fun time coloring with crayons, doing puzzles, dancing, and playing with her.
Eliza really loves having a live baby in the house and is insistant that he have his binky in his mouth and a blankey at all times. Brendan is a little bit more apprehensive about his new baby brother. He finally came around to holding him today (only for about 3 seconds). He loves to talk to Lincoln though and can't wait to show him how to swim like Michael Phelps.
We are doing well and are very grateful that our family has been blessed with another blessing from heaven.
