Highlights from the month (March 28-April 28):
* One day after Parker's 3 month birthday, our family packed up my car as much as we could and moved to Illinois. There barely was enough room in the back seat for Parker and Shadow! And actually Parker did much better on the drive than Shadow!
* While Matt went back to Little Rock to load the moving truck, Parker and I stayed with Aunt Sharolyn and Uncle J.R. in St. Louis for 3 nights. Parker of course got lots of attention from Nathan, but always had Natalie (his Supernanny) at his side to help with anything--even poopy baths! We also got to watch Nathan play baseball--even in the rain! And even though Parker doesn't enjoy shopping, he tagged along with me and my college roommate, Amanda, for a whole day of shopping. Parker's looking forward to having a playmate next time.
*Parker celebrated his First Easter with the Ervin family on Saturday, then went to church in Niantic with the Flamm side. Because I had to take Matt to St. Louis to catch another flight to Little Rock, Aunt Sherry babysat for the day then served us another Easter dinner.
* Parker and I stayed in the new house all by ourselves for the first week. Grandma Flamm and David came up for 2 days to help unpack and watch Parker.
* Aunt Sherry, Parker, and I made a roadtrip to go see Grandpa Flamm for the first time and celebrate his 74th birthday.
* Aunt Susan came to visit and see our new house. We had mint chocolate cake to celebrate her birthday.
* We spent a Sunday afternoon in Blue Mound, bringing items for the town rummage sale. Parker got to meet Uncle Tim and Aunt Janet and 3 more cousins. We also went to Grandma Flamm's house to deliver her birthday present.
* Parker and I went back to Blue Mound for 2 nights so I could help Grandma Ervin with the rummage sale. Grandma Flamm kept Parker one day and we also went to see Granny B.
It's been a busy month as we are trying to visit as many people as we can, yet also get the house unpacked and feeling like home. Parker has been a trooper adjusting to the change. Even though it's a different house, it seemed like he instantly knew it was home.

ReplyDeleteSara! He is absolutely gorgeous (like you don't already know that!) I was looking at his measurements...our Nola is turning 2 next week and is 19 lbs and 30 inches...so she's tiny! I am buying her 12 months clothes! Hope you're getting settled in your new house and love being back home!
