And we're baaaaccccckkkk

To Altus that is.  Most of the time I wish our Duty Station was somewhere fabulous, like Aviano (I would die), Colorado, Hawaii, Ramstein, or Japan.  But today I am thankful that home is Altus, Ok. 

Our drive from Dallas to Altus was so perfect and I couldn't have asked for better.   We drove back into town at 1200--leaving Dallas at 0800 and stopping 20 miles away from Wichita Falls for a feeding for 45 minutes--we made great time.  And I to answer everyone's question...NO, I did not speed.  I have a baby in the car.  I would never do that.  Unless you count going over by 3 miles speeding.  But honestly, cruise control is my BFF.  

When we got home we were relieved, tired and ready to tackle the chaos luggage in the car.  Actually that is my least favorite part of traveling.  Taking out and putting up the luggage.  Putting anything up in general is not something I enjoy.  Ask Husband--he'll tell you the honest truth.  It's a miracle I came of this deployment becoming someone that now puts items "away" not just "up."  Excuse me?  Totally not the person I was.  I was just a naturally messy person.  One of my downfalls, but hey!  No one is perfect..  Except God.  And math.  Ugh, math and accounting.  2 things I dislike more than putting up luggage. 

I digress. 

After we got inside our humble abode, I put Lincoln down for some tummy time (I would have made him practice his sitting--he's totally still a wievel wobble man--but I had to fold and I did not have the proper amount of blankets on the floor.  Oh the joys of having paper imitation wood floors) and realized we had some treasures waiting for us!  I had an early birthday present from my wonderul mother/father-in-law.  And....Lincoln's photos!!!!  (Oh, and the rest of Jack's packages came home too--the end is in sight people!!!)

My birthday presents were accessories for the B.O.B!  The accessories are amazing (weather blocker and the sun/wind blocker) and very much needed/appreciated!  And of course, there were goodies thrown in for Lincoln.  So sweet to think of sweet Linc.  

And the pictures of Lincoln.  Julia (as always) did a fantastic job.  I wish I had a fourth of the talent this lady has.  Seriously.  All the pictures: Adorable.  Perfect.  Stunning.  Cute.  Whimsical.  I can't even choose a word.  What I love most is that Julia chooses natural settings, has you bring your own props--I'm weird about that anyway--and makes everything as genuine as possible.  Love that lady!

Now a Drummmm roll please.....(pprrrmmmm prrrmm da da dum).   Here is what you all have been so patiently waiting for:  Little Lincoln.  Sweet as a pumpkin with cinnamon and sugar. So lucky we have him!  I could kiss and pinch those squirrel cheeks all day long!  Pretty much, I do.  If only I had a dollar for everytime I have...we would be millionares. 

Ahhh...

Okay, okay.  Pictures it is:

He is so much fun!

Love this baby face.

Melts my heart
