Jackism

After I lit the candles this afternoon ...

Mama (sniiiiiifffff) "Mmmmmm. Do you smell that Jack? It smells like Fall!!"
Jack (looks at me like I have 3 heads): "Or it smells like candles."

New Truck!

This mama is riding in style, now! The Neal's are proud new owners of an Infiniti QX56.  It's a 2006 with only 33,000 miles and fully equipped with Bluetooth, navigation, DVD player, sunroof, a 3rd row seat - that folds flat, Xenon headlights and a trunk that opens with the press of a button. It's like new. The man we purchased it from is the first and only owner and only drove it back and forth to church. He had some sick rims on it, too - but the original tires were in his garage and we had him put them back on. ;)

Thanks to Craigslist for the awesome find!! It may be a little pretentious, but I love it.

Welcome Luke David Neal

Luke's birth announcement ... better late than never! At least this time I got it out the door before my maternity leave ended - unlike last time!!

All together now, "Awwwww..."

Luke Goes to School!

Yesterday my maternity leave ended and today I went back to work - and Luke went to school. My heart broke again for the second (and hopefully the last) time. Jack's first day of school being the first time.

Like a zombie, I walked Jack into school and then down the hall to introduce Luke to his new teachers and classroom. Of course he will be just as loved as Jack was - but it's still hard knowing you're not going to get to see that smiling face again for 8 hours.
