Wow, August has been good to us! We moved, hooray, to a two bedroom luxury apartment. Well, to us it is living high-- central air, washer and dryer, dishwasher, plus extra storage in the basement. We didn't think we'd ever upgrade so fast, especially when we're not making any money to pay for it...It’s a little ‘80s with brown countertops and forest green carpet, but we love it.
Blake’s parents were nice to come out and help us move. We felt bad that they worked so hard on their vacation but we couldn’t have done it without them. We also had help from Kevin, Nick, and Elliott from church. Thanks, guys!
And Isaac was finally blessed in church on August 3. He scared me to death the night before because I woke up and he had slept 5 ½ hours all on his own in his car seat! Maybe he’ll shock me again some day. We got to church 20 minutes early so that I could feed Isaac there. That was my plan so that he would be happy during his blessing. It worked like a charm! No crying whatsoever. Blake said he even cooed during the blessing. We were happy to have so many family members here for the baby blessing: Kent, Karen, Todd, Jeanette, and Bekah. We all partied the day before at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, the arch, the Soulard farmer’s market, and the Cathedral of the Basilica. Everyone left on Sunday except Bekah.
On Monday, Bekah and I had fun at the Science Museum, the St. Louis Bread Company, Union Station, and Crate and Barrel. It was fun but weird to not have her five kids around! Bekah brought me the cutest quilt ever for Isaac. It is called “Mama’s Boy” and there is a picture below. I don’t know where she ever found the time. I have the best family! I wish everyone could have come to visit.

"Mama's Boy" quilt, made by Bekah. It's so cute!
This is how good Isaac's second time in the stroller went...once we walked 3 blocks to Forest Park, he decided he wanted to be held so he could fall asleep!

Marie! I'm so excited you have a blog! Now I can see pictures of your cute baby and keep updated on your life. Also, I love the post about deciding when to have a baby. Thanks for sharing. :) You are amazing! And Isaac is adorable. I hope his acid reflux is doing better!
I'm so glad you decided to do a blog. Isaac is adorable! Now at least I can see him grow up on your blog since I can't see it in person. I'm sorry to hear about the acid reflux but happy to hear it is getting better. What a cute family!!!
Congrats on your baby and your new house! He is adorable and I am excited to see you at Christmas.
