December 13, 2011 - New Niece, Grandma & Grandpa Neal Visit, House Update, Bryanna Standing

We've had such an exciting week this week - my new niece, Audrey Ann Miller, was born December 10th at 8:50pm, 7lbs 11.5oz and 20 inches long. She is healthy and Jess and Audrey are doing good. I can't wait to hold her, only 15 more days!!!


I was at the new house today and Bryanna was combing my hair - I was laying on the floor looking up at her and I saw her slowly stand up...I couldn't believe my eyes! (where is the camera when you need it!). She stood all the way up and balanced herself for a few seconds and then crouched back down. It was such an emotional moment for me and we have been waiting for this moment for MONTHS now! She got all excited after she did it and gave me such a big and tight hug - I could tell she was proud of herself and she knew how proud I was of her.

Grandma and Grandpa Neal came to visit this week - thank you so much! We were able to get some painting done and Dad and Scott drywalled most of the dining room. The windows are almost finished and the floor guy is coming Thursday to refinish the hardwood floor - then we can move in! I can't wait to finally have a minute to relax!
