First Week in Elmhurst!!!

We are really enjoying living in a new town. Elmhurst has so much to offer and we are really thankful to live here. We are in walking distance to the Library, which is super nice and Maddie really enjoyed our visit last week. I also signed Maddie up from swim lessons which will begin in July. There are a TON of classes offered through the park district so I am going to look into signing her up for a bunch more! Possibly a music class since she loves music!!! The park district is also offering an Easter Egg Hunt next saturday, which we are going to take Maddie too! Elmhurst is such a creative town and they think of everything! And I just bought Maddie a cute basket today so we can fill it up on our hunt!!!

Last week one of my friends who lives close by came over for dinner. A few days later some family members stopped by which was really nice. Later in the week one of my really good friends from Chicago came to visit last week with her baby Shelly. We enjoyed exploring the town of Elmhurst and also trying to convince her to move here:o) She is one person I know will visit, and we really enjoy our time with them.

This morning we tried out Christ Church of Oakbrook. In the parking lot we met this really nice couple who then after the service told us about all the things to get involved in. One of them being MOPS, which meets every other Wednesday. I am excited to start new and meet other Moms with kids Maddie's age. Today was also the first time we put Maddie in the nursery. She did GREAT! Bob and I kept checking our pager through the whole service thinking that it might buzz, but it never did. When we came to pick her up she was perfectly happy playing with the other kids and eating cherrios. We then ventured to fellowship hall where we met some more people. We are excited to see what God might have for us at this church, and hope to be used for his purposes.

My mom is coming tomorrow to visit, and then we have 3 more visitors this week! Looking forward to rekindeling old friendships this week! One of them being my roomate from college who has a daughter Madeline's age. Excited to spend time with friends and their babies! Have a great week everyone!
