It seems every year we have more to be thankful for. This year we are so thankful that we have been given the most amazing daughter. We can't imagine life without her and don't know how we got so blessed to have her! To top that off we are beyond thankful this year to be expecting another baby! We also are under contract on our house and so thankful for how everything has worked out with this. The buyer requested a 30 day closing, so on top of holiday stress we are packing and trying to move. Since we don't have time to find a house we want due to the short close, we are renting a friends house who has had it on the market for awhile. It will be stressful because this of course will mean two moves instead of one, but it is worth it to make sure we find the right home and in the right area! Lastly, this process has reminded us how thankful we are for the amazing friends and family who have supported and helped us through this crazy transition!
For Thanksgiving this year we headed up to Virginia on Wednesday to spend it with Derek's family. As always we had such a great time with all the family. Madelyn absolutely loved being with her grandparents, Aunts and Uncles. She hasn't stopped saying their names since coming back to Charlotte. We had a great meal and hated it had to be such a short trip as we needed to get back to pack!
Madelyn has been a learning and talking machine lately! I wouldn't even know where to start to list all her new words. One big thing is she has started counting really well. We have worked on 1-6 and she does it all on her own. (minus often skipping 4 haha) She also will repeat all her ABC's and can do A through D on her own. Our favorite story from this week was she was busy playing and was counting to herself then we heard her say this:... "A,B,C,D, G,I, 8, 9, YEAH!" Apparently her mind is on overload of the abc's and counting, haha!
This Thursday we find out if Madelyn is getting a BROTHER or SISTER :) We can't wait to find out!!!
