Audrey was given a name and a blessing by her dad on August 1, 2010. Joining her dad in the circle from the Aidukaitis family was her Grandpa Aidukaitis, Uncle Lee, and Cousin Brenan. From the Narducci family was her Grandpa Narducci, Uncle Nick, Uncle Seth, and Uncle Morgan. Family friends/relatives also joined the circle including Manny, Sean and Shem Banda. Needless to say, it was a BIG CIRCLE full of people who love Audrey - and what a great feeling that is!
Other family members that attended the blessing include Great-Grandma Narducci (Noni), Uncle Anthony, Aunt Patty, Uncle Frank, Aunt Vicki, cousin Emily, Aunt Shalyce, cousin Rilus, Aunt Becca, cousins Lucas, Madison, and Lauren, Aunt Christa, Aunt Diana, Aunt Mandy, cousins Kylee, Amanda, Madison and Adam, Aunt Amy, cousin Sasha, Aunt Alisa, cousins Spencer and Ashleigh, Aunt Jenni, cousins Kyana and Gavin, Aunt Kristina, cousins Cadence and Easton, Jared Jarvis, and Angela, Lana, Chad, Rachel and Elijah Banda. The bishop remarked that he thought we had more visitors than ward members in attendance that day.
Here are pictures of us just before going to church.
Little Audrey was sleeping on my bed right up until we left. What a little angel!
After Audrey's blessing we went to Mike's sister's ward for little Lauren's blessing. Lauren is her cousin that was born 4 hours after Audrey was. Unfortunately I didn't get one picture of her in her beautiful blessing dress worn by her sister and mom! How sad! If anyone has pictures to share with me, please do. :)
After Lauren's blessing we went to the Narducci's house for a BBQ. Here's a glimpse of the yummy food prepared for us that afternoon.
And here are pictures of some of my family that came for the special day.
Later that night Grandpa and Grandma Aidukaitis and Aunt Amy came over to our house to say bye. They drove down from Utah and were leaving in the morning.
What a wonderful day we had together with our family and friends. Thank you to everyone who was able to share this day with us. Especially those of you who drove 20+ hours round-trip to be here! We are so grateful for our family and realize how wonderful it is to be able to share these special moments together. I love my family - immediate and extended - and am so happy that families can be together FOREVER!!

Congratulations on the new baby! She is adorable, just like her big sister. Hope things are going well.
What a special day for you and your whole family. That's so great that you got such a good turnout - that says something about you and Mike!
Audrey is a VERY beautiful baby. Seriously, SHE is....but so is Natalie. You guys just make pretty babies. I love her blessing dress too. Glad it was a good day.
