Hi Everyone,
Some of you have been after me to update our blog, especially now that we have welcomed our newest little Brown!
We are excited to announce that Abigail Kathryn Brown was born on Friday, July 27th, 2012 at 8:09am! She was 6 pounds, 4 ounces, and measured 19 1/4" long. She had a full head of dark hair and big blue eyes. Abby is our little peanut! At birth, she was teeny tiny (an entire pound lighter than her big brother) but she has had no trouble gaining weight. In fact, between her initial pediatrician appointment and her 2 week appointment, she gained an entire pound!!! (Usually they only gain about 1oz per day.) She is doing pretty well with sleeping - lots of little cat naps, and usually at least one long nap in the afternoon, and one 4-hour sleep when we go to bed, and a few 2-3 hour stints following that during the night.

In addition to having our new little one, we have officially announced that we are moving back to Missouri! Back in April, Noah's old boss in St. Charles asked him to come back, as they have a lot of work now. We immediately wanted to say "YES" and go running home, but we had a few other options to consider. The saying goes, "when it rains, it pours", and well, it was pouring job offers for Noah! He had an offer from the Navy, in addition to sort of a promotion at his current job. In an economy when so many people are without work, it was a blessing to have so many options. After lots of prayerful consideration, we knew moving back home was the right decision. God confirmed that by helping us get a great offer on our house here in Maryland after only 3 days on the market, and providing an awesome house in St. Louis all in the same week. During this time, Noah's mom and my parents and brother and sister-in-law came to visit us and help us around the house. It was so nice to have help the first 3-4 weeks after having Abby. To top it off, the moms group provided a whole bunch of delicious homemade meals for us for the first 2 weeks after Abby was born! We are so humbled and feel so blessed by seeing God's hand so visibly in everything around us.
Our move date will likely be sometime in the first week of October. Noah's first day of work is October 5th. Our new address is 79 Hillview Dr. in St. Peters, MO 63376. Click the address for pictures!
Although we have made some wonderful friends here in Maryland whom we'll miss very much, we're looking forward to being much closer to family and friends being back in the Midwest. If you're one of those wonderful friends here in Maryland, our door is open for you if you're ever in St. Louis! We would love to keep in touch.

We hope all of you are doing well and look forward to seeing our family and dear friends in St. Louis very soon!
Blessings,
Noah, Krista, Judah and little Abby
