Week 1: Grandma and Grandpa O visit

Samuel 1 week old

The boys didn't have a lot of interaction with Samuel his first week. Sadly, they both had a bad cold so we did our best to distract them from holding Sam too much in order to try to protect Samuel from getting sick. Did it work? Of course not! Oh, well it was worth shot!

Meeting Uncle Matt!

Ready for his first outing to the zoo!

The boys new look!

My parents brought up some bunk beds for the boys. They have loved the bunk bed life so far!

Of course, the other boys of the house enjoyed having Grandma and Grandpa around too!

My parents came down for the week to help me out with our new addition and of course snuggle their newest grandson.

Meeting all the Family

Grandpa came down and watched the boys while I was in the hospital. The boys loved having some Grandpa time. Thanks for helping us Grandpa!

Meeting Great Grandpa and Grandma.

Samuel John Lenz

Welcome to the world Samuel John Lenz! He was born March 25th at 4:30 a.m.

He weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 20 1/4 inches long.

We are so thankful for you and praise God for your life!

Samuel looks like a combination of both brothers although right now we think he favors Josiah. He seems to have blond hair.


The big brothers checking out the new addition to the family.

Sweet flowers from friends and family. Josiah and Jack walked be some flowers in the store and Josiah told Eric he wanted to buy me flowers because it would make me glad! And let me tell you, it did! :)

Grandma and Grandpa Lenz came down to help babysit and of course snuggle Samuel!

Uncle Isaac also came and being the great Uncle he is, he brought cool football balloons for Josiah and Jack and an Aaron Rodgers belt. :)

Happy Birthday Great Grandpa!

Earlier this month we celebrated Great Grandpa Lenz's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Grandpa, we love you!!!

Can you tell the boys always have fun with Great Grandpa? :)

Let the count down begin!

We are patiently (or trying to wait patiently) for Baby boy Lenz to arrive. His due date is March 26th. It feels good to finally be able to say that my baby is due Saturday! Be prepared though, Jack was 5 days late...here's hoping he's not an April 1st baby! :)

Week 37
Week 38

Fun in IA

Playing in the snow!

A day with Grandpa O.

Grandpa was on a missions trip to Haiti for a lot of our visit, so the boys were excited to see him when he came home. On Monday they had a Grandpa O. day that started with going out for Breakfast and of course Chocolate milk!

They also had a lot of fun playing with Grandpa's train!
