Other Highlights

Other highlights from the past week:

Baby Shower in West L.A.- Aunt Wendy threw us a baby shower in West L.A. so all our old friends could come and see the baby. I was kind of nervous that Julia was going to be fussy since it was in the evening and Julia has started to get fussy a lot in the evenings. She ate literally right before the shower though and slept in the arms of grandma the entire time. The shower was great and it was so fun to so all the friends that we haven't seen since we moved. We are so blessed to have so many people who care about us!

Mother's Day- Robert made breakfast for me (first time since our anniversary that he's cooked anything) and then we went to church for the first time since Julia was born. It was a little nerve wrecking wondering what I was going to do if she woke up and started crying, but once again, she slept all through sacrament. (One day I'll look back and laugh about being nervous to take her anywhere.) After that we skipped out on the rest of church and went to West L.A. once again for dinner with family and to take grandma to the airport. It was wonderful having Robert's mom here (actually, even though I missed Robert when he was in Chicago, it was a lot better than having Robert here since grandma is good with babies and is a wonderful cook.)New Den- We did a little rearranging in our house this week. We got a new sectional couch and made the open part of the kitchen into the new TV room, and moved the table to the middle room to make it the dining room. Here's Julia enjoying her new digs.
Chicago- Robert went to Chicago last week for training, however he specifically chose to go to Chicago for training this year so he could go to both a Cubs and a White Sox game. I'll let him post more about his trip if he wants, but here he is at the Cubs game.

You look beautiful Melarie! And Julia is again such a doll, I just want to squeeze her. Glad you had a wonderful shower and Mother's Day.

PS I hear Rob plans all his trips around baseball games....isn't that why Lo is getting married in Portland in Aug, so Rob can see the Mariners/ NY Yankees? hahaha

Julia is so beautiful! I hope our kiddos get to meet sometime soon. I'm nervous to take him to church too. I think I might try out Sacrament meeting this week. Yikes!
