We made a week long visit to Minnesota to accomplish many things:
- Instill in Reagan a love for all things Minnesotan; between the mobile and the trip, I think it's working (here she is staring at her Gopher mobile)
- Celebrate Steve's birthday with about 75 of his closest friends
- Introduce Reagan to all of the other Alpha Chi Legacies (pictured below; Me & Reagan, Steph & her Reagan, Heather & Lizzie and Emily & Tyler)
- Let Reagan meet her Godparents, Megan and Scott Berry
- Spend some QT with my Goddaughter, Ashley Berry (Ashley Berry hamming it up for the camera)
- Have Reagan baptized at the church we were married in
Thank you to all of the people who stopped by Steve's birthday party to visit and meet our little one! We had an awesome time and miss you all very much!
It seems like ages ago, so I'll just post some pictures and move onto the MOVE...
On Wednesday we packed the entire contents of our condo in the city and made the big move to the 'Burbs to our new home in Deerfield. We filled a moving truck to capacity (they literally had to leave the back doors ajar and tape our stuff in to make it fit!) and headed out the house. With the new place just minutes from my office, I am thoroughly looking forward to gaining nearly 3 hours of my life back each day due to a MUCH shorter commute!
Steve's parents were amazing and made several 1.5 hour+ trips to Deerfield to pick up and/or watch Reagan while we worked on getting our home in a livable state. Reagan's room was first, followed by our room. Everything else will have to happen later! My dad also came out to add some much needed TLC to our yard, as it was in definite need of help after many months of neglect. Already it looks like a completely different yard. The neighborhood is extremely friendly and everyone has stopped by to welcome up and wish us luck.
We'll post pictures, as soon as we can locate a camera!

I love your blog and hearing about all the going- on's in the Chappell family... It looks like you have had a very busy few weeks. It sounds like you all had the best time in MN. So Fun!! Reagan is getting so big. I am glad that all went well with the move. Can't wait to see more pictures of the house and post some of Reagan's Baptism if you have those too. Miss you guys!
