Wonderful Day

Today has been the best day.  We watched Conference, cleaned our house, did some grocery shopping, got all the laundry AND all the dishes done, and now we are ending the day with Audrey watching her first movie- The Little Mermaid.  Part of Your World has been one of her favorite songs so far- it seems to calm her down a lot of times.  She sat and watched the movie very contentedly for a long time!  Seems like such a simple day, nothing too exciting I guess.  But I tell ya, it was pure magic for me.  I got a nap and Audrey got a lot of Daddy time.  Feeling the spirit in our home with Conference on all day was a big part of why it was such nice day.  That's what it was- a nice day.  Not really a fun day, not an exciting one.  But I'd take this kind of day over an exciting one any time.  Audrey has been such a happy girl all day and now once again she has put herself to sleep.  She had a nice little routine down- she would eat, be happy and smiley for about 2 hours, then go back to sleep for a few hours.  I think it was the calmness of the day that made her feel calm too.  And happy.  Very very happy.

Wearing one of Luke's baby outfits may kind of make her look like a boy, but it was sure cozy.  And with the changing weather cozy is what we need right now when we watch Conference and eat cookies!

We were cracking up at how intently she seemed to be watching the movie in Daddy's arms.  Just chillin.

My two loves.  This is the life.  I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.  Hanging out on a Saturday night watching Little Mermaid with my husband and daughter.  I swear I dreamed about this when I was 12.

My family came to visit last week (which I will hopefully get around to blogging about later) and it was such a blast.  But now I admit we are enjoying our calm, un-overwhelmed Audrey.  Her middle name is Kealana which means "glorious calm."  And she certainly lived up to it today for which I am very grateful.   Calm really is a glorious thing when you have a baby.  She is my happy little Kealana and I love her.
