Raider Nation!

"Real Kids Wear Black" - thanks for the Raiders shirt, Uncle Andy! I thought his "Wide Receiver" shirt was appropriate for this post as well! Josh is sure we have a football player! Ha!

Sibling Love

BIG NEWS!! Lance rolled over for the first time from his back to his belly on Oct. 8, 2007!! Very exciting! :) The even better thing, was that it was in the evening when Josh was home so we all got to see it! :) Lance wasn't very happy about being on his belly, but we were all pretty excited. In Josh's words - "He's gonna be a linebacker!" Hmmmm.....

So sweet.... Grace is always kissing and loving on him.

Malin family weekend #4

Ben and Jill were the last to leave :( One last picture before we say good-bye!!

So we have/had a vine hanging in our front yard from one of our trees. Well, Josh H. was swinging on it (which we've done many times in the past) and it broke when he was pretty high up in the air! He's fine, probably a little sore now, though. At least we got in some good swings before it happened. As you can see (knowing Josh is 6'5"), he got really high!! Grace enjoyed a little swinging herself!

The girls!

Josh and Lance got in a good shot.

Malin family weekend #3

Aunt Lis and Uncle Josh hangin out with the kids

A goofy pose - Grace is doing "The Andy" again!! :)

AAHHHH....What a great family picture! Thanks for bringing your tri-pod, Jill!

Malin family weekend #2

There are so many great (and goofy, fun pictures) that I had such a hard time choosing what to put on my blog from this weekend!! The boys are posing here together.

We tried to possibly get a "Christmas picture" taken, but it didn't really work out. This is the best one of the bunch - we'll keep trying! :)

Ahh, Uncle Andy (AKA: that guy). Grace was smitten with him!

Grace is doing "the Andy pose"! Ha! What a crack up! I think the camera stunned Lance a little bit.

Malin family weekend #1

We had an amazing weekend with all the "Malin" side siblings and spouses!! Ben, Jill, Andy, Lis, and Josh were all able to come and stay with us for the weekend. It was wonderful! We had a great time shopping, the guys watched the Cubs play in Cincinnati, we hung out, took pictures, and sat around a bon fire after the kids were in bed. Grace had a blast hanging out with her aunts and uncles and the constant attention definitely wore her out!

Uncle Ben was able to get lots of smiles and laughs out of Lance.

My Uncles are #1!!!! (Actually, I think they were cheering for Miami.)

Andy was trying to get Lance ready to play football - I think it's still a little early, Andy!

New York, New York!!

My two little cuties! They both have these t-shirts, so I thought it would be fun to take a couple of pictures. (The poses are Grace's ideas)! :) One of my favorite cities - kids after my own heart! :)
