Audrey Bell: Day Twenty-Nine

audrey bell 6 months

Long day today.  We went up to The Valley for a birthday party and ended up visiting some other friends on our way out of town. By the time we got home, nearly everybody was ready for bed! Here are a few things on my mind: 

1. Most of the time I write on our blog about our family and that means that our friends don’t really get acknowledged. Both Barry and I grew up in small towns and this means that some of our very best friends are ones that we met practically in infant-hood. This is not an exaggeration. I’ve mentioned time and time again that I’m thankful for my girlfriends, and I can’t say that I’ve ever mentioned that I’m equally grateful for Barry’s friends and their wives. I feel weird even saying “Barry’s friends”  or “my girlfriends” because truthfully they’re all OUR friends. Today was a day that I was reminded that we’ve got lots of good people in our lives. Make new friends…..but keep the old……

2. It’s nectarine season and I’m thrilled. My favorite fruit in the entire world.

3.  I can’t stop listening to David Archuleta’s “Everybody Hurts,” Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” and Alex Boye’s cover of ‘ “Ho Hey”.  Watch David, Miley & Alex.

Audrey Bell: Day Twenty-Seven

We went and had a play date at my cousin Megan’s on Lake Washington. When wen made the plan, we had high hopes of swimming in the pool and dangling our toes in the lake, but Mother Nature had different plans. With the cool breeze blowing in off the water, we spent most of our time passing the babies around and watching Maggie put on Megan’s lip gloss. This photo was taken while my mom was playing peek-a-boo with Audrey….I think Audrey’s face is priceless. This is exactly what she looked like after the blanket was pulled off of her head. Love that girl and love that this season of my life allows for play dates with my family. Feeling extra lucky today.
