Leah & Luke's Baptism

Since Leah and Luke are so close in age Carissa and I decided it would be a good idea to get them baptized on the same day. September 15th worked for all the families and also happened to be Brad & Matt's birthday and Leah turned 3 months old so it was a busy weekend! 

Brad & Jamie and Andy & MR came up Saturday morning and the boys went golfing while the girls and kids went over to the Schmidts and hung outside all day and enjoyed the great weather. Carissa & Andy just moved into their new, beautiful house at the end of August so they hosted everyone all weekend. Iowa played Iowa State that night so we had to support our Hawkeyes!

Sunday morning we headed to church for the baptism which went well, both babies did great! Leah had to have her paci in of course, but she didn't cry! We got some great pictures in afterwards as well.

Always with her hands in her mouth!

Back to Work

Summer has gone by so fast and September is here which means I have to go back to work! I chose to go back a week early and work half days Tuesday thru Thursday to ease back into things. My Mom had those days off work so came up and watched Leah for us. It was nice to not have to go back to work and start her at daycare on the same day.

Leah is going to an in-home for 8 weeks until our Principal daycare spot is available on November 4th. Michelle is great and lives only a few blocks away, we were very lucky to find her. Leah seems to be doing great and luckily is only eating two bottles during the day so I am getting away with only having to pump twice a day at work! She is currently eating about 5 oz per bottle. She usually sleeps thru the night; going down around 9:30 and waking up between 5-6. We are slowly trying to establish a routine but each day is a little different! 

Picture Michelle sent me on Leah's first day. She is such a happy baby!
