Memorial Weekend And Three Uncles

We spent our Memorial Weekend here at home. But it wasn't just any weekend, we had three special visitors. Joe's brothers all made the trip out to Charlotte to visit us and meet their nephew!

Before their arrival Lincoln and I made a trip to the grocery store. Every time we go he is seriously such a good baby. He must love all the lights and stimulating things around him. He also gets lots of compliments. I suppose he better get used to it, he sure is a cute baby!

Uncle Jed was the first to arrive. Lincoln put on his new Hawkeye gear to welcome him. Thanks to a gift from my college roommate Lincoln sported a sweet Hawkeye tie onesie.

Lincoln also demonstrated his inner John Cena. Anyone a WWE fan??

Then the other uncles arrived. First Travis got to hold our little guy. Trust me, Lincoln did enjoy this, we just couldn't seem to capture his happy face.

Then it was uncle Nick's turn. Again, Lincoln's face shows his hesitation with this stranger, but he warmed up to the boys quickly.

During our 2:00 AM feeding I snapped a picture with my little guy. With all these boys around it was nice to have some quiet time together.

The next morning we lazily got up, ate some breakfast and passed Lincoln around. He seems to be studying Nick closely.

The weekend weather was gorgeous so we took full advantage of being out in the fresh air. Thanks to our new patio furniture we ate most meals outside.

First on the activity list was tennis. We have some pretty nice courts in our neighborhood. With five players we switched out teams and Lincoln enjoyed being outside. Again, he's such a good baby when we do activities like this. As you can see in this picture, he's just one of the boys.

Morning number two brought more baby carrying and Dunkin Donuts. Can you tell which one is wearing Lincoln and who has Carlos? You must be familiar with the movie The Hangover in order to get that joke...

Again the weather was perfect so after borrowing a ball from our neighbors the boys got a few games of basketball in while Lincoln watched. He was probably taking notes for the future when he's right in the action.

We grilled out once again and enjoyed the weather. Looks like Lincoln enjoyed Nick's lap.

All this excitement left Lincoln wiped out. Each night he fell right asleep. I joined him with going to bed myself, but the boys always stayed up. There was either a bonfire to be held or a NBA game to watch.

Lincoln also slept in... like I said, he was tired from all the activity!

The fun weekend had to come to an end. Before dropping the boys off at the airport we snapped a few more pictures. Thank you to Jed, Nick and Trav for visiting. Lincoln loved meeting you all!
