We should be closing on the house this week if all goes well. I have been on the phone and the computer emailing and talking for the past three days trying to get this whole thing moving. I have been to the house a couple more times recently and the kitchen is pretty much done. The appliances are in and the place looks great on the inside. There are still some minor aesthetic items that need to be addressed, but otherwise I think they are close to finishing. I am getting really excited to actually own a house for once instead of worrying about messing up a rental and losing a bunch of money. I think Gena is primarily excited to be able to paint finally. She has been very interested to get Link set up with a nursery since he was born and now we will finally be able to do that.
Keep your fingers crossed for us!!

One Month Old!!
We made it through the first month, finally! Link is getting kind of predictable now that he is one month old. He has one good day and one bad day, on and off, almost like clockwork now.
Yesterday was a screamy day so we can predict that today would be a calm day. Sure enough, we were right!! He was nice and calm most of the day. I came home from work around 4:30 and startled him because he didn't know I was in the room and I touched his little head. Boy did he jump!
I put up new pictures of him and I'll give a bit of an explanation about them here,
You can see in the first few that he and Gena were interacting the other night, which was kinda funny. That was also a night he spit up on himself so I was changing his clothes and I took some pictures of his skinny little arms since he was throwing them all over the place. There are some of him in his rocker and then there are two that I took one morning after Gena put a hat on him in the night and I woke up to a silly looking baby with a hat on giving me the stink eye.
Hope you all like the pictures and the blog. We have been very busy this week working and still packing. The house now has appliances as well as cabinets and a sink in the kitchen. We broke in with Kenny and April Sunday and found out they gutted the basement and refinished it all like new so that is kinda cool. I can't imagine they have much left to do but paint and fix the fence and clean up their mess. Hopefully we will close next week, but at the worst, they want us to definitely close before November 30th. Here we go moving again, but this time it is the last time for a long while!

Quick Update
Gena and Link are waiting for dad to come to bed, so I'll make this one quick.
I went crazy with the camera again, so there are all new pictures in the slideshow. Again, the previous pictures are moved to the album called "archive".
Link is great and so are we. We finally got a little sleep last night and the way he is going, we might get more tonight! So excited!

No new pictures
I feel as though I shouldn't post here without putting up new picture albums every time.
Baby Lincoln is doing just fine. We finally got some sleep last night after an all day scream-a-thon. I hate leaving my family at home alone while I go to work. Maybe one day I'll become independently wealthy!

Halloween Plus
Halloween has come and gone and there are plenty of other pictures and events that have occured since. I carved a sweet pumpkin and Gena did too. Gena's took a lot more work than we thought it would so it never got finished, but I can put the stencil up for you all to see what it would have looked like.
It was in the 40 degree range so we opted to keep Link inside this year instead of trick-or-treating with the family. Brandon dressed like a Tiger and Bri went as a ghost at first, until she realized how cold it would be and changed into the kitty outfit. Julian was a 70s disco king with the big curly wig and everything. and of course Lincoln was the little boy from Where the Wild Things Are. Gena did an excellent job making his costume and we got the first taste of what the rest of our lives are going to be like around Halloween.
Baby took another bath with us and his belly button is finally fully healed. His little blue eyes are finally starting to show their true colors as well, though I don't know how well the camera captured that. We have actually gotten more sleep the past couple nights, although last night Link was very fussy in the middle of the night for no reason. Not sure what was up with that.
I'm posting more pictures here and on the slideshow now so take a look!
