Audrey's First Dinner Club

I was able to take Audrey to our April Dinner Club and introduce her to all the dinner club ladies. She was a pretty good dinner companion... not too fussy. She entertained herself in her chair while we dined on a yummy Asian inspired menu that our gracious hostess Lindsey picked.

Aunt Katie Comes to Visit

My best friend Katie came to visit Miss Audrey this weekend. We had a great visit. Katie confirmed our opinion that we have a perfect baby! Audrey was a great companion on our usual activities when we get together of outlet shopping and dinners out. Thanks for coming to see us, Aunt Kate!

Visit to Pop's Office

On our way to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with my friend Meredith, Audrey and I stopped off to visit my dad (aka Pops) at his office. Audrey was a sleeping angel the whole time even though Pops was introducing her to all the office staff.

Accountng makes me sleepy!

Mom Dresses Me Like a Cabbage Patch Doll

For our trip to church, we dressed Audrey up in a cute outfit borrowed from her friend Ruby Rose. I thought she was adorable in her sun bonnet. I'm not sure she was as amused.

Audrey is getting to be such a big girl. She actually looks at her swing mobile and gives us big smiles. It's hard to capture those gummy grins but we'll keep trying for her devoted audience.

Big Night Out

Mom and Dad got a big night out on Friday to celebrate our 6th Anniversary. Audrey got to spend the evening with Pops and Donanah (Leslie's Dad Tommy and Stepmom Donah). She was a good girl for her babysitters!

We had a really nice time at Brennan's Restaurant. We enjoyed crab cakes, turtle soup, redfish ponchatrain, shrimp and grits, bananas foster, and pecan pie. It was nice to get dressed up and have a night out without our sweet angel. Of course, we talked about her most of the time. When she gets older, we'll have to take her out to Brennan's!

I'm One Month Old!

Audrey was one month old this Saturday. She's getting so big! We had our first outing to church today. She was truly an angel and slept during the whole service. Of course that's not a statement on the sermon!

Boy, this Church gig makes me tired!

It was great to be back at church; we've really missed worship and the fellowship with our friends. It's amazing how refreshed I felt after the service. At times when I feel like this mom job is so challenging, I try to remember how blessed we truly are. When I look at Audrey, I am simultaneously filled with joy and terror; joy at what a miracle she is and terror knowing we've been entrusted with this miracle.
