Blessings, Blessings Everywhere!

So, I'm starting a new thing... Every Sunday night I'm going to write down five good things that happened to me during the preceding week. Starting tonight! :)

1. I got to go to Waco and spend some time with my loverrr and his friends, AND I got to eat some strawberry cheesecake yogurt!
2. I got to go to Scarborough Fair and hang out with Lance, his dad, his little brother (who dressed as a wizard. It was the coolest thing ever!) and his little sister. I also got to ride an elephant. And eat a turkey leg. NOT simultaneously, but it was still great!
3. I got to go to stake conference today and sit next to my daddy as I witnessed the stake presidency being reorganized. It was a wonderful spiritual experience, and I got a lot of great quotes from it!
4. I got to go visiting teaching today for the first time in this ward. I have a great partner and I visit two wonderful ladies- visiting teaching really is a wonderfully inspired program, and I'm happy to be a part of it!
5. I got a "new" old desk from a man who had it listed on CraigsList. It's a beautiful Federal style 1930's desk that needs a little love down the road- but I am so happy to have it! My imagination is going wild thinking about the stories this desk probably has to tell. If only desks could talk!

It was a GREAT week! :)

Auntie Chelsea's Brag-blog

Audrey Kate continues to be an adorable baby. It was determined, at last Friday's two-week appointment, that she is back up to her birth weight, and then some! She is sleeping through the night... well, until about 6:30, and- she has really begun to appreciate her sponge baths! She is a vivacious little eater, and an even more lively pooper, and we thing she's just great!

We count her in our blessings every day, and we just think she's the cutest and best baby in Texas! Here are pictures from her two-week "photo shoot". The first outfit (the pink bow with the polkadot onesie) was the outfit she wore on her first outing, which was to the mall. Fitting, right?!








The pink shoes with the ribbon ties were her first pair of shoes, given to her by Grandma LeSueur on Cami's birthday.

This dress was given to Miss Audrey by fellow name-buddy Audrey G., one of our good family friends. It is a beautiful battenberg lace sundress, and she looks like a little porcelin doll in it! But then again, AJ looks like a doll in anything she happens to have on :)
