I'd love to share pictures with you, but I've got to find that silly camera. Probably means I should unpack.
Oh, but I need coffee first.

An Update...Soon
We've been gone. To the Bahamas. On a cruise. Yes, it was wonderful.

Three years ago
Three years ago today...at this very moment in fact, I was at the hospital hoping to see my sweet baby girl. I was probably even blogging. Contractions were heavy and I wasn't able to get an epidural because thirteen mothers were giving birth and the anesthesiologist was tied up, to say the least. A few more contractions and we would realize that my placenta had ruptured.
I'll never forget the disappointment in my doctor's eyes when she told me that I needed a c-section. She was my biggest cheerleader and it felt like we had just lost the game.
In a moments time, I was whisked away into surgery and within seconds our little peanut was born.
At 9:18 on January 18, 2008 (lots of 8's in there!) a miracle happened. Annelise Louise Neal, all of six pounds, thirteen ounces and 18 inches, entered our world. She was beautiful from the moment I saw her.
Happiest of Birthdays Annelise. We love you.

Our Normal
Back to school today. Two whole weeks with daddy home has left my girls in a funk.
What? We didn't know daddy had to go back.
Well, if we want to eat and live in this house he does. The little things, you know.
So we are back to normal...though I'm having a hard time remembering what that was. Oh yeah, a clean house, structure, cooked meals, but surely not as much fun as having a full-time playmate in daddy.
The laundry pile is high again (did it ever really get smaller or did I just forget about it during all our fun?). So today, we're catching up.
Oh, and I'm doing my annual budgeting. You know, tweaking the numbers here and there. We do this more often than annually, but it seems like this is the week where we make big changes.
I'm thinking about canceling DirecTV, lowering our internet costs, canceling the home phone and keeping my free trial of Netflix.
I guess you could call this the week of trimming. Mhmm...
