All Smiles!

Charlie has really started smiling more lately. His little personality is emerging. We can't wait to see more. He loves to coo and tries to talk. He still loves to be cuddled which is hard when we need to get stuff done. Thank Heavens he also loves his swing which is still where he takes all his naps.

Audrey turned 7!!!
For Audrey's 7th birthday party she had a Little Chef's theme. The girls decorated their own aprons and hats, then they made their own pizzas and cupcakes. She had a great time! I'm thrilled it is over. Phew!

I've lost my mind! I actually paid money to have a rodent in my house. Don't we usually pay money to get rid of rodents?

All Audrey wanted for her Birthday (despite my discouragement) was a pet gerbil. I sent her on a scavenger hunt where at the end she found the cage and all the fixings. Later that day we went and picked out a female black gerbil she named Skittles.

Charlie was officially named and blessed on August 2nd. Everything went well. We had family over afterwards for a late lunch. Everyone had a great time.

When Aunt Chelsy came to town a few months ago she took Audrey on a girls day out. They went for pedicures and to a local cafe for hot chocolate. Audrey felt like a queen. She has a special place in her heart for Aunt Chelsy.
