On the Beach
Forgot to mention that we went to the beach with Ted's mom, dad, brother & sister. That is who you may see in some of the photos.

We left Saturday 7/18 at 9:45 pm on our journey to the Outer Banks and arrived in North Carolina Sunday at 5:30 am. We drove through the night thinking Seth would sleep the whole 8 hours but he only slept like 5 or so. We couldn't check-in until 1pm so we went exploring and ended up nearby at the wright brothers national memorial.

Words of Wisdom
I am attending a baby shower this weekend and need to take some words of wisdom along with me. I have some in mind, but thought I would ask anyone out there to offer some too, that I might be able to share as well. Maybe you will think of something I missed or that might be really important. Some of the best advice comes from those who are currently on the parenting journey. So, if you get a minute please do share!
Help!
So we've been back here in Pennsylvania for 16 months and are still clueless about where to live. And it is really starting to drive us crazy! We just can't wait for that settled down feeling. We haven't really invested in too many relationships since being back and maybe that has a little to do with being first time parents. And we miss what we had and the relationships that were starting to develop with people in Iowa. We are limited as to where to live because of employment. Ted wants to stay with the company he is with but isn't fond of the nearby towns within driving distance to work. There are a few towns he would be ok with and I as well but some of them would probably mean finding new friends all over again. (which can be done of course) I was friends with some people in the city but since being back it seems everyone is busy and the 20 minute drive sort of hinders things for some reason. And I just dont' know of any other "stay at home moms" who are close by who I could visit or vice versa. We have been hesitant at times to really invest in where we are because we both know that we don't want to be in the town that we are currently living in. We are praying and need to pray more and more specifically. We go back and forth in our minds about if Iowa is where we are suppose to be. We absolutely know that we liked the town of Ames and loved our friends we made and enjoyed Cornerstone Church. But we hate the huge distance it is from our families (especially now that we have started our own family). Ted also really liked his job in Iowa. He is still engineering the trailers for Iowa but just from Pennsylvania but that can be frustrating to him because if they have a problem in the shop when building the trailer, he can't be there to go out and help since he is not in Iowa and he would love to be more hands on at his job rather than sitting at a desk all day long. We just need to figure out where we are suppose to be. So, if you have time and have any suggestions, ideas, etc. please, please, please let us know!

A fun new seat
Seth found this tray that I had sitting on the bench in the background and I guess thought it would make a nice seat!
Why get a bowl? When you can eat it off the floor!
A clever Seth has figured out how to get the childproof locks off of the cabinets! He found and emptied a box of Life cereal which thankfully was almost gone anyway.
