It's been a while

I know I have been bad about blogging lately. I will try to do better for those of you that read it regularly. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant... only 13 weeks to go. Which seems both far off and right around the corner! We picked out a purple palette for Emily's room with large colorful flowers on the bedding. We bought her bedding a few weeks ago. Here is a link to what it looks like (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2919878). I didn't want to go with a pink nursery, since pink isn't my favorite color, and I am sure she will have no shortage of pink gifts! Adrian got busy painting the nursery, I am posting some "nursery in progress" pictures. He painted the room all by himself, with lots of love and pride. He will eventually put up the matching wallpaper border, but he's off to a good start. We have a crib and changing table that a friend is lending us (minus a few bolts). So we have ordered the missing pieces and we will be in business! I can't wait to have it all done and promise I'll post pictures as soon as it's complete.

We had a great Thanksgiving here at the McNemar home. Adrian's parents are officially living in Houston again, after 3 years in Argentina. We hosted Thanksgiving while they get settled into their new home. His sister (Bonnie) and her two daughters came in from Baton Rouge as well. We also had my parents and Jimmy and Heidi over for Thanksgiving dinner. It was my first ever attempt at cooking a turkey. I was quite nervous about hosting my first Thanksgiving and how the turkey would turn out. But I have to brag a bit and tell you the turkey was perfect and the day went off without a hitch. I couldn't have done it without the help of EVERYONE. Whether it was bringing food, helping in the kitchen or taking over the clean up, everyone was such a huge help and it made for a pleasant day of family and food! Here is picture of my table. It also gave us an opportunity to use our new china and crystal (we haven't had an opportunity since we received them as wedding gifts).



Lastly, I will leave you with a belly shot. Melody is always asking to see how big I've gotten. I didn't think I'd grown that much, until I saw the picture. WHOA! And I still have 3 months to go!
