birthday balloons.

today you turn 4.

FOUR.

woosh.

There was a distinct feeling present
at the birth of each of you boys. . .

each different.
each powerful beyond description.

and for you, sweet Lincoln,
the moment you were born,
that room was FILLED to the brim with JOY.

absolute joy in it's very purest sense.

Everyone felt it.

Complete happiness.

and it was thick. tangible. and indescribable.

No one (doctors and nurses included)
could stop smiling or outright laughing out loud with joy.

It was completely infectious.

YOU are completely infectious.

Every perfect little part of your perfect little spirit.

You still fill our lives with absolute joy.

Every minute.

of every single day.

We love you big boy!!!

Love,

Mommy

I remember him on our first Halloween party in Hawaii when Enzo was a couple months old and Lincoln was, I guess 2 months old. I could barely handle my one kid and you gracefully mothered 3 did some awesome activity with the kids. I can't remember what but I'm sure they loved it. I remember looking at Lincoln, I think he was only wearing a diaper, and thinking "lucky, so so lucky!"
