First, and most exciting these days (in case any of you who read this haven't heard; I'm sure there aren't many), we are expecting Baby McConnell #3 on June 7!! We aren't going to find out if it's a boy or girl, so don't ask. =) We also don't know whether we'll use another "A" name, so don't ask about that either. =)
As for the rest of life, I know it's been a while, but following is a quick timeline of our last month of life:
Oct 21: Put our house on the market (thinking it would take months to sell)
Oct 23: Receive a final contract on our house
Oct 25: Decide we better start looking for a new house to move into for the next 7 months of life
Oct 27: Find another place to live
Oct 28: Decide we have to move in the upcoming weekend because there will be no more free weekends between now and date of closing
Oct 28 - 30: Pack (with a lot of help from 2 little girls, who really like to unpack more than they like to pack)
Oct 31: Move into another condo (same complex, short commute, same big hassle) with the help of some great friends Nov 1: Drive to LA for the day to visit some awesome friends
Nov 3 - 5: Allison goes to NY for a business trip
Nov 7: Try to unpack some boxes
Nov 8 - 14: Super family trip to Hawaii; I get to meet my little 'niece' Addyson for the first time, who is super-cute
Nov 17 - 18: Allison goes to CT for a business trip
Nov 20 - 25: Allison's brother, sister-in-law, and cutest 5-month old in the world, Ava, visit SD
Nov 22: Allison goes to ER for some crazy stomach bug
Nov 23 - Present: Allison's mom visits; the whole family gets sick; Thanksgiving is postponed by a day; Now we're all feeling great!
So I know that was a lot of drama and probaby way too much detail, but I just wanted to prove that I have some legit excuses for being so far behind in blogging. Now the bad news is that in the midst of the unpacking, I am still unable to locate our card reader (so no still pix on the blog today). I'm also sorry to say that I was extremely lax in taking any videos either in Hawaii or from Ava (and B&B's visit), so I'm includng only one video from Hawaii. Thanks to our very cool friends Dirk & Annie for their extreme hospitality (and just overall coolness) during our visit!
