Isabella's Baptism

Isabella was baptized on Aug. 10th. We were really glad that it worked out for both sets of grandparents to be there that day. Grandma and Grandpa Kellbach were able to drive from Ohio on Friday and stay with us. On Saturday we did some powershopping at the outlet mall. Isabella was on her best behavior and really seemed to enjoy all the shopping. The next day we had Isabella's baptism at the 10:30 service at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in downtown Iowa City. She wore the same baptismal gown that her Grandma Groves wore when she got baptized. She was good during the service and didn't cry or anything during the baptism. Afterward we went to Blackstone for Brunch. The food was fabulous, but Isabella missed it, she slept through the entire thing, I'm pretty sure she didn't even know we went out to eat.



Afterward, we hung out at our house. As usual, Grandpa Groves got put to work. He helped Jeff take apart our old kitchen table (we now have the dining room table from Robin's mom). Isabella was really curious as to what was going on and scooted over to check it out. We think she really wanted to help! Grandpa also installed the very first baby gate that day. Isabella hasn't been too interested in the stairs yet, but you never know!
