Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was great! We usually don't travel anymore during this time due to the distance and the fact that we still wanted to be home for Christmas (and drive for that). So we hope each year that some of our family will come to VA to see us. This year, my mom and Bob traveled from Florida to spend this holiday with us. We had a great time...good food...and started decorating for Christmas. We had such a great time with them, and as usual, Bob helped with numerous "fix-it" projects around the house. Thanks Bob! Here's Bob reading to Addison before she goes to bed. This is only part of her nightly routine, which also includes a bath (usually every other night), brush teeth, wash hands, sippy cup of water, and read two books. Then we rock (depending on who's turn Addison says it is) and she goes down pretty easily (usually). She still sleeps through the night, which is awesome!
She still has no interest in the potty. She'll sit on it, but that's about it. We'll try again after Christmas probably (after all the upcoming travel).

Our big announcement...

It's Thanksgiving day...my mom and Bob came to visit from Florida! Jonathan and I had an announcement that we just couldn't keep to ourselves any longer...so we put Addison in a special T-shirt before dinner to help share our secret...
So here's my mom reading the front of the shirt...
Then she read the back...She was so excited (and so was Bob)...so now we can announce to everyone else too. We are expecting baby McNeal #2 in June 2011! We are very excited and still cannot believe that we kept it a secret for 8 weeks!
We actually found out around Addison's birthday (a day or two after, I think). We were very excited and then couldn't wait for our doctor appointment to confirm what we already knew! I'll document more of this in another post.
So here we are...just the 3 of us for now, but not for long. Can't wait to have another little McNeal soon! Not showing yet (I'm about 8 weeks along in this photo).

It's Fall - bring on the leaves!

Here we are into November now...the leaves have fallen and our little helper was so excited to "help" rake up the leaves.It was too cute when she said "me do it." We just couldn't resist.
Of course after raking...she wanted to play and jump in them. She had a blast!


Here I am...can you see me?
