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!

Hi Allison!
Congrats on baby #3! You're going to have your hands full. I'm sure Audrey and Avery will be great big sisters.
We adopted a 2nd child a few weeks ago, so things have been hectic around here. Let's just say it was a surprise adoption. We had 2 weeks from the time the social worker called to see if we wanted to take home another child to when he actually came home. The boys are 14 months apart, so I haven't had much time to go online and keep up with everyone.
Hope you have a great Christmas!
Groovy Girl
