In case you didn't know, we moved to Saint Louis for Drew to do an orthodontics residency. Of all the places we might have gone, I am so glad we ended up here. We have been here for about a month, and it has been very busy and fun. Drew is happy with his program and I have been busy settling in, and exploring this city. There is so much to do here. It is so family friendly, I love it.

| It is about a 14 hour drive from Denver with 3 kids and a dog. We were surprised how good the kids were. Us on the other hand..... We had just finished the Ragnar on Friday, flew to Colorado that night, stayed up late packing the car, and then took off early Saturday morning so we could make it in one day. And then Drew started his program on Monday. This summer has been such a whirlwind, that we are happy to stay put for a while. |
 |
| Here's our cute house. We live on a culdesac! We have lots of room upstairs, and a nice walkout basement that is spacious. |
 |
| Yes, that's right we have a gazebo in our back yard. Tea party anyone? |
 |
| We have loved the splash parks here. We are trying to adjust to the humidity here, but I don't know if I'll ever get used to it, so I have just accepted it. Although, because of the humidity it is nice and green here. And I absolutely love the huge trees. |
 |
| We live super close to Creve Couer Lake Park. There is so much to do there. |
 |
| We went to The Magic House, which really was magical. We didn't even get to half of it. They have different sections with all sorts of things, like a little grocery store for kids, a bank, a nursery, waterplay, ect... |
 |
| The babies were loving it too! |
 |
| We spent the 4th of July with some friends from church. Melanie was in heaven. |
 |
| One thing I love about Saint Louis is there are so many things that are free, including the zoo! Check out Melanie's sweaty face! It' humid here people. |
 |
My good friend Jena lives here, which I am SOOO happy about. It's been so fun working out with her and hanging out with and without our kids:)
Carson and Melanie were trying to beat the heat. | |
 |
| This park is gorgeous. (We are trying to show off our free slurpees from 7 Eleven) |
 |
| We had a fun time eating dinner under the arch. It is huge! |
 |
| We go on a long walk every day after breakfast, I can't get enough of this neighborhood. It is so cute. I love all the houses and the huge trees. We usually walk by this cute pond by our house and fee the geese. Unfortunately the geese like to sleep in so we don't see them very often. |
 |
| This is how we roll. She also enjoys sitting on top or running beside me. But I think she thinks it's fun to sit in the basket. |
 |
| Don't worry that's a happy face. |

I miss you so much, but am glad you are adjusting and enjoying St. Louis. It was just horrible timing to quit and you to move :( Someday my friend someday we will play :)
Caden LOVES riding in the bottom of strollers too! It looks like you guys are adjusting well....that humidity looks yucky:(!
Totally jealous of the splash park, you'd think Arizona would have one in every square mile radius, but the closest one to Kingman in Henderson outside of Vegas about an hour away. I'm thinking we'll just have to go into a large amount of debt and build ourselves a pool in the backyard. It'll be worth it. :-) So glad for you guys, and YES, moving is not a walk in the park with little kids, glad you survived too!! :-)
Doesn't really look like you miss Denver enough. Just kidding, it looks really great there!!! The Magic house looks super cool! Can't wait to visit :)
You should be looking a bit more sad. Denver is the place to be. Love the picture of you guys under the arch. That's a fun picnic spot!
So fun to see what you have been doing this summer! Glad the Ragnar and move went well...what part of St. Louis are you living in?
i love your family picture at the top of your blog! so classic. looks like a great place...so much free stuff to do. but it's no denver. ;)
miss you!
Linde, we are in Maryland Heights. It is close to Creve Coeur Lake Park:)
