Jack and Max: Meeting Lincoln

So, I'm finally getting this post up. To those of you who have been begging, pleading, emailing me patiently waiting to find out how the first meeting went between Jack, Max and Lincoln, here you go!

(As a result of all of your inquiries, I told Jack that he has "fans". He looked up at the ceiling fan and then at me with a mom-you-are-so-totally-weird face. Oh well...perhaps someday he'll get a kick out of the fact that Mommy's blogging friends thought he was so cute!)

So, how did it go?

Jason's parents brought the boys to the hospital to meet Lincoln (and to see their Mommy who missed them terribly).

They immediately noticed the banana sitting on my half-eaten lunch tray, and just had to have it before any introductions could take place.

Jack's curiosity prompted him to plop right onto the bed with me, and he was immediately enthralled with Lincoln.

"Look at him, Mommy."

"Look at his little, tiny hands."


"His hair is so soft."

"He likes me, Mommy."


I taught him how to put Lincoln's binky in his mouth and he thought that was "so silly."

Max? Well, this picture says it all. He stood on a chair in the corner drinking his chocolate milk, and suspiciously watched while wanting no part of any of it...

Until...

We gave them presents from Lincoln - characters from the movie "Cars"...their current favorite! They were SO happy and excited when they saw them...isn't Jack's face just priceless?

They spent the rest of the time playing with their cars on the floor. Of course, there is a sign that specifically states, "Children should not be allowed to play on the floor."

Oops...certainly they didn't mean two little boys who had just gotten twelve new cars from their new little brother that needed to zoom and crash across the room...

It was a precious time for our family. I will never forget it. I have never felt more blessed than I did at that moment...having all three of my children with me for the first time. My three precious boys.

God is so good. So very, very good!
