We're Back!

I don't know about all of you, but I have no clue where these past 2 months have gone!  Seriously, how is that Thanksgiving has come and gone with Christmas luring in the not too distant future?  In any event, I hope you and yours had a very blessed Thanksgiving.  As for us, we had Neal's parents and sister in town and entertained 13 people on Thanksgiving Day!  It was a feast to say the least, complete with Turkey and all the fixings, amazing desserts, and a game of corn-hole to conclude the evening.  Although we weren't able to be with all those that we love, we still enjoyed the day and found many things to be thankful for; I hope the same can be said for each one of you!

Our Thanksgiving Table!

Now to all things baby, which is why you really are probably all here and still reading.  The baby and I are doing great!  I am feeling well, minus some aches and pains here and there.  The baby is moving around a ton and is growing like a weed.  I may have started off growing slowly, but now there is no stopping us now!  We are slowly getting ready for the baby to come, adding things to the nursery here and there.  Such an exciting time!  This past weekend we went to the park and had Julie, Neal's sister take some maternity photos for us while she was still in town.  Julie is the artistic one in the family and did a great job capturing this special time!  I hope you all enjoy the few that I have added.

In other news, some of you may know but for those of you that don't, I stepped down from my job in early November.  This decision was not made lightly, but ultimately Neal and I felt that it was the right decision for our growing family as I am preparing to be a stay at home mom.  To us, this transition feels like a natural one, however others reactions have been, well, interesting to say the least.  People either respond by saying "good for you", or "a stay at home mom; I'm surprised to hear that, aren't you going to go crazy?".  All I have to say is that we are extremely fortunate to be able to keep me home and I am thoroughly looking forward to my new "career"; I can't think of anything I would rather do, especially when raising kiddos in this day and age!

Well, I think those are all the updates for now!  Hard to believe that we are in the last two months of pregnancy and pretty soon our little bundle will be entering the world!  We are so excited to meet our little boy OR girl and know that God's perfect timing for his/her arrival is at work!  So, needless to say, we have MUCH to be thankful for this holiday season.  I hope that each one of you can find something to be thankful for as well...no matter how big or small! xoxo
