The whole moving process began on July 18th. Some of us went to Fort Wayne ahead of the moving truck so that the house could be prepped, nursery walls painted and kitchen unpacked. The large moving truck arrived the next day and some unloading was done. However, Saturday was the big day - unloading the moving truck, arranging furniture and beginning the adventure of unpacking.
We are so so thankful for all of the unloading and unpacking help we received. Moving can be quite a challenge...even more so with a newborn. Some wonderful people from our vicarage church helped as well as some good friends from seminary and family from Illinois. So thankful!
We are very blessed with our home this year. It is a cute house, close to the seminary and a short distance from several places we like to shop. (It is just about walking distance to Hobby Lobby! Dangerous, I know! ;-)) Our home has three bedrooms, which is wonderful! Isaac has his nursery and Adam is able to have a room for studying. There are built in shelves and desks, too. As many of you know, a seminarian can never have enough book shelves. ;-)
Here we are once again calling Fort Wayne "home"...but for only a year! The Call Service will take place in the spring and we are already doing the countdown. :-)

Baby Isaac
Nesting was in full force late June...painting Baby J's dresser, packing up my beloved craft room, paying bills extra early (just in case Baby J came early), coordinating housing for his baptism sponsors for during baptism weekend, verifying pre-registration with the hospital, putting together the moving weekend agenda, coordinating moving help, contacting a Fort Wayne pediatrician, organizing insurance paperwork for Isaac...the list goes on and on.
Perhaps nesting is an indicator of when a baby is about to arrive because Isaac Jacobsen entered the world on June 29th, 2012. He weighed 8 lbs, 6 oz and almost 22 inches long (and he was ten days early! Quite a good size for an early baby, the doctor said.).

Here were are on Isaac's baptism Sunday:
1 Samuel 1:27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.
Psalm 9:1, 2 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2
I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
