New baby and a move

The past few weeks have been somewhat of a whirlwind. Everyone told us we were crazy for having a baby and moving just a few weeks later, but I think we have proved them wrong! Believe it or not, it is something that can be done with some remaining sanity! We have been so blessed to have such wonderful help both packing up in Warsaw, and unpacking here in Lowell as we made the move this past weekend. It has been busy, but not totally hectic or overwhelming. We are getting adjusted to life in an apartment again, and we are actually really enjoying our new place (will post pics soon, when everything is clean :D ). Pretty much everything is unpacked and it feels like home. This week we have been getting things situated, and have begun to meet some

more of the people here. We attended Ignite (another church plant here in Lowell) youth group on Wednesday night, went to the Lowell football game on Thursday night and tonight we are having dinner with a couple and then going to a concert here at the local coffee shop. Our days have

been spent running errands and getting utilities and other things set up. Jon "officially" starts this weekend, and is really excited about being able to help with worship and then get started working this next week. We will meet with the youth leaders on Saturday to help get the schedule established and talk through some other things.

Carter is doing great. He is content most of the time, although the past few days he has been a bit more fussy. He has been sleeping pretty well, has only woken up 2 times the past couple of nights, and otherwise will sleep 3-4 hours at a time, so we are excited about that!

He has been a hit with everyone :). It's hard to believe that he will be a month old next week! We love him SO much! :)

Here are some pictures of the recent goings on:

The week before we moved we got to celebrate Kenneth's 21st birthday with all of my fam:

We also had a nice dinner with Thomas and Bethany before we moved:

We (well, mostly Carter ;) ) have had a lot of visitors:

We are looking forward to this weekend and getting started at the church!
