Our little bean

Now that it's out...here's a picture of our sweet little bundle!

Isn't it so cute!!

We are so excited to be welcoming another baby into our home.

So far, this pregnancy is harder on me than the last one. But I'm determined to enjoy every minute of this.

We had a really good time telling Ainsley, too. Just watch her face!

This is definitely going to be an interesting time in our lives.

Valentine's Day!

Ainsley's class a fun Vday party!  Everyone brought Valentines to pass out...they decorated heart cookies and made lots of crafts!

She did such a good job on her cookie! And she ate some-which she rarely does at school

She's working hard on her sack to her friends can put Valentine's in it

Since it was such a pretty day, the kids took a break and went outside for recess...then they came in and handed out their Valentines

She really got into it when she started giving her's away.

Then she just wanted to play a little more!  :)

Look at all her goodies!  She really got so much fun stuff!

Of course, she got gifts from Mammy & DanDan and Momma & Daddy...I think she really enjoyed her Valentines Day!

It's a...

Joe's younger brother, Jay and his wife, Ashley are having a baby!

They recently had thier gender ultrasound and found out what they were having!

So, of course, there was need for celebration!

Both sides of the family got together and went to eat at Ted's so we could all find out togther.

Jay and Ashley had cupcakes made and they were filled with either Pink for a GIRL or Blue for a BOY!

So the cupcakes were passed out...

BLUE!!

It's a BOY!

I'm so excited to get a new nephew...Easton John Neal in July.

The Proud Parents-to-Be

Ainsley picked out this sweet giraffe for her new cousin.  She also explained she thought it would be good to put it in his bed so he could sleep with it.

January CATCH UP!!

Let's begin at the beginning...

We celebrated a New Year together.  And a fun night that was...

Then Joe turned 30!  on January 2nd...we celebrated after with some great friends and family!

Christmas Break was officially over!  Ainsley went back to school...and this semester is SO MUCH better than the last.  We did have a couple days to get used to all the new teachers, but I haven't had to stay with her AT ALL!  And she's just loving it!

Also, we started back to dance class with Miss Emily.  Ainsley really missed Miss Emily because she drew her a picture and even gave her a hug!

And Crew turned 2!!  It seems like just yesterday that little surprise came into the world.  He is just so darn cute!

(he is saying CHEESE!)

Bright and "early" one morning I was awoken with a phone call...someone had run a stop sign and hit Joe.

So needless to say, we said good-bye to the ole' Corolla.  She's been good to us all these years.

But now we are looking towards the future!

And speaking of future...

I also got one of these this month:

Wait for it....

a BIG FAT POSITIVE!

We will be welcoming our second (and hopefully last) baby into this Neal Family!

Jay and Ashley are also expecting a baby, so our family is definitely going to have a blessed year!

What a month!  Sometimes I think I can only handle a couple of these things happening...which is why I've been in bed since!  :)

Through the eyes....of Ainsley

Have you ever wondered what your children see from way down there?  Well, Ainsley got out my phone on a trip to walmart, and I got to experience just that!

Interesting, isn't it?   :)
