Day at the Columbus Zoo

Her favorite ride - the carousel. She was squealing with delight! They had this carousel at the zoo. It was a really great zoo.
This is Lance at the zoo - he barely saw a lion as we were headed out! Ha!

TOO MUCH ZOO!!

Check out the kangaroos - they were right next to us - we were able to go in their "environment"!

That's Grace's finger petting the snake!

Lance at One Month old!

Grandpa and Grandma Malin came to visit again when Lance was one month old (at the end of August). Grandma stayed with us for a week and helped me out. Grandpa came for the weekend and they both flew home together.

The in-home nurse came to visit when Lance was about 5 weeks old and he weighed 11 lbs. 1 oz. already!!

Cashed out! Precious.

Lance's Room

Here are some pictures of Lance's room. It's kind of a Hawaiian/surfing theme and not quite finished yet. I still need to add the curtains, a lamp, and a surfboard shelf for one of the walls. Great job on the paint job, Josh! :)

Just hangin' out!

The two "preppy" guys hangin' out together!

AAWWWW!!

Look! There's my fist!

The three amigos.

Lance at two weeks - Grandparents visit

Grandpa and Grandma Malin drove from Iowa to Ohio when Lance was 2 weeks old for the weekend to meet him! We took some photos with them with the "new addition" to their grandchildren.



Of course they didn't forget Grace and brought her some gifts as well! Cool! Now she can help Daddy rake the yard!

She's burping her baby like a good mommy should. ;)

The one week Dr. visit

Getting weighed and measured. He didn't enjoy that so much!

Lance had a great check-up! He had completely gained all his birth weight back, so the Dr. said she didn't need to see him until 4 weeks old! He weighed 7lbs. 13 oz. His umbilical cord had fallen off as well. Grace enjoyed visiting the Dr. also (as you can see). They have the same Dr. and she remembered the polar bear table! :)

Lance's first week - Part 2

These are some more pictures of our first week at home. Papa and Daddy DID finish Grace's new "playground" with some help from her! We also took some updated family pictures with our new little addition!
