Chelsea is growing up TOO fast!

I love these pictures of Chelsea - she is growing up SO fast! She is becoming so attentive & alert! She LOVES people - we went out to eat at Five Guys last Friday and she was in Heaven!! She couldn't stop laughing and smiling. I'm pretty sure the 2-year-old next to us was falling in love with her; he couldn't take her eyes off her and he kept saying "baby," SO CUTE!! At Chelsea's 4 month checkup she was the average height of a 6 month old (95% for height). Now she's almost 6 months old and she's only gotten bigger . . .

My First Try @ French Bread

Since Michael served his mission in France I've been trying to learn how to bake bread like the French do (this is an almost impossible, because real French bread is AMAZING or so I hear) - this was my first try at French Bread! I liked how it turned out as far as the taste goes and how crunchy it got on the outside; however, I think I would've liked it to be a little bit more fluffy on the inside, I think I added a tiny bit too much flour - Michael said it was great for my first time . . . The difference between American French bread and French French bread is the outside crust. Our ovens can't get as hot as French ovens so what I had to do was put a bowl of water in the oven along with the bread to make it "feel" hotter. It seemed to do the trick. I'll let you know how the next batch goes . . .

Chelsea Says "Hello"

Chelsea is saying "Hello" to her friend in the mirror! (at least that's what it sounds like to her mother)

A Scraping Wood We Go

Michael and I have the wonderful opportunity to clean the Cherry Lane Apartment Office! It just so happens that the cleaners before us decided to cover the Pergo Floor with a clear Wood Finish every time they cleaned the floor. This became quite a predicament for us because, no matter how hard we tried, the floor never looked clean. So, in hopes to make the floor look good again we decided to loosen and scrape all the extra wood finish off the Pergo floor. The truth is I didn't know how ambitious of a task this was until we started.

It's starting to really look fabulous, but after almost 6 hours of work we only got half finished . . . Here's our progress so far:
