Elise's 3rd Week of Life

On Friday we went to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Assoc. to visit John at work. We had lunch at the new Library on campus and saw the prayer garden where Ruth Graham is buried. It's such a nice layout, and they have wonderful music playing on the grounds as you walk around - a must see for anyone coming to Charlotte.

We also dressed her up in a Northwestern college onesie (thanks, aunt Sara) and we'll have to send in her birth information for the Pilot.

On Sunday we went to church for the first time with our baby girl, and she did really well. It's been a great week, and we're starting to fall into a somewhat predictable schedule each day. She typically goes to bed at 10pm - sleeps until approx. 2:30-3am, up for an hour to feed, then down for another 3.5 hours - and up around 8am for a couple hours and then a long nap from 11am - 3:45pm, then awake for a bit, and the last nap of the day comes between 5 or 6pm - 7pm - then awake until bedtime. She is really a mild mannered baby - and pretty easy going. Thank goodness! I tell her that she takes after her father.
On Saturday night, John and I got away for a couple hours to go see a movie while Grandma June and uncle Curt babysat. After we got home, they told us how they had decided to take her for a walk in the stroller - but it took Curt a long while to figure out how to open the stroller - and once they had it open, they laid the baby down, and heard a loud rumble. She had just filled her pants - so they had spent all this time trying to get the stroller set up only to have it all stop short and have to go in and change her, and then the weather
got bad and it started thundering. So much for a stroller ride. Too funny!
It was nice for John and I to get out for a few hours. We can't believe she'll already be 3 weeks old Monday! It's been such a wonderful time getting to know her. We'll post more pictures as we have them.
