Lincoln Edward Hoy born June 30th, 2011!!!!!!!

Hi friends and family,
Have been experiencing laptop issues and been unable to access and update. But I was able to upload pictures and will update what has been going on. We are celebrating the birth of Lincoln Edward Hoy!!! He was born on June 30th (now almost a month old) and is doing great. Hannah has been doing just wonderful. Lincoln has been a very good first baby. He has light colored hair and blue eyes. I see a lot of Jake in his facial features. Good looking boy.


Jake, Hannah and Lincoln.

Aunties Laura, Mary and Kayla getting to hold little Lincoln.

Leah came home too and was in the delivery room with Hannah!

Another grandson to hold. I am soo blessed to now be holding another grandson.

The family also took part in the Coeur d'Alene Marathon events this year. Nathan, Jason and I did the CDA Marathon, Sarah did the Half Marathon and Michelle did the 5K. We all finished and did awesome. Nathan really burned up the field and finished at 3 hrs 27 minutes. Wow!

Michelle made a cake for the after race party at Hannah and Jakes house.

We also went on a hike up to St Regis Lakes at the Lookout Pass area. There was still plenty of snow even in June when we went for the 5 mile hike. We were crossing big streams of melt off and still traversing large snow fields. It was an awesome day, in the 80's that day but it felt so good being up in the mountains and crossing icy cold water and walking the snow. Kaiser absolutely loved the snow. He was like a kid running around in the snow and eating it and throwing it up in the air. He was a good hiker that day. Sarah, Laura, Kayla and I had a great time.

Hi, Doug and all,
Congratulations to Hannah and Jake on the birth of their Lincoln. You must all be very happy about this, and you are a Grandfather one more time, Doug!
Your hike up into the mountains looked so beautiful. We can thank our Mother for our love of the mountains. For me, too, there is no where else I would rather be.
Patrick is on a big bike ride - possibly up to Inuvik! He will go, at least, to Whitehorse.
I hope everyone in your neck of the woods has a great summer, filled with health and happiness.
Love, Judy
