Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!  We took a family walk today on the beach - it is a beautiful day!  McClane really enjoys his stroller and being outdoors - every time we've put him in it, he just passes right out.  Hopefully he will be a good little traveler.  Here are some new pictures from the past week.

Such a sweet little face.

Passed out!  My aunt Wanda made this beautiful blanket for McClane.

McClane's first trip to Swampscott - this is where he will be going to Daycare in September.  It's right down the road from this sign and across the street from the beach.

McClane Week One

What a whirlwind week! I can't believe just a little over a week ago, we were still waiting on McClane. This past week has flown by. McClane is doing great - he has such a good temperament and is sleeping and eating really well. I am so thankful that Grant was able to stay home with us for a week - we had a great time bonding with McClane. We are also very thankful that his mom was able to come up here and help us out as well for a week. Catherine arrived on Saturday and has been waiting on us hand and foot. She's been my extra set of hands and has been preparing my meals and making sure I'm getting rest. She's been awesome.

My mom will be coming up next Thursday to help out for a couple of weeks too. McClane is lucky to have such wonderful grandparents eager to help out!

We will be going to the doctor next week for McClane's two-week check-up. We're anxious to find out how much he weighs because he is a little piglet when it comes to eating!

Here are a few new pictures from the past week. Enjoy!

So peaceful.


McClane loves his crib - he sleeps really well in it.


We got this amazing cookie bouquet from our friends the Critchfields. We didn't eat them for two days because they were too cute to eat, but then we couldn't resist. They are just as delicious as they are cute!

McClane is here!!!

Our sweet baby boy finally made his appearance!  William McClane Norman was born on May 11, 2009 at 3:43 pm.  He was 7 lbs, 3oz and 20.9 inches long.  Labor and delivery went really well.  Everything went just as it should have thank goodness with no complications for mama or McClane.  

We came home yesterday and McClane is adjusting to his new home and we are adjusting to his crazy schedule!  Everything is good though - we are just glad to have a healthy baby!  

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of days.  Thanks so much to all of our family and friends who have been checking on us and giving us support and love.

We will be posting more soon.

Love,

Grant, Lacey, and McClane

I love those big eyes and those lips.
