Happy Thanksgiving!!

Josh and I have so much to be thankful for this year on Thanksgiving! We are blessed in so many ways. But we are most thankful for our wonderful family and good friends.

We hope that all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving this year and that you take a little time today to count your own blessings and think about all that you are thankful for. We hope that you are able to spend this day with family and/or friends and that you enjoy all the good food and memories that today will bring!

Jonah is 20 Months Old Today!

Jonah is 20 months old today! He is such a little boy now! It's hard to believe that he will be 2 years old in a mere 4 months. They always say when you have kids time flies by a lot faster than before and I truly agree with that statement! I can't believe how much he has changed over the last month. He talks non-stop and is just so sweet! He's very energetic and happy! However, Jonah can be a little stubborn (though I don't know where he gets that from! lol) but we usually get through the testy times fairly quickly. They told me at school that Jonah loves to help clean up and that it's very cute how he will get so upset with the other children when they do not do as they are told. They said he is a leader in the class and loves playing with all the children. He takes care of them and doesn't like for them to be upset. Right now he does not like to keep his shoes on and every day when I pick him up from school he is running around barefoot! Jonah loves to sleep with several blankets in his crib and loves to snuggle. There are mornings when I walk into his room and ask him if he's ready to get up and he says "No!" He's definately a Schneider!

New phrases:
"Oh No!" complete with his hands on his cheeks!
"Oh Gosh!"
"Daddy get me!" - after I put him in his crib at night! LOL
"Riley, let's go!"
"Daddy go bye-bye" when Josh leaves in the morning for work

New Foods: Not many new foods this month :)
White Cheddar Cheez-its
Gogurt
Pop Tarts

Thanksgiving 2007

We had Thanksgiving with Josh's family at our house this weekend. Jonah and Kayla had so much fun playing together. Jonah pronounces Kayla's name "Kee-La". It was so cute! He was very sad we she left yesterday! This morning on his monitor I could hear him saying her name over and over! He's also learned everyone's name now and loves to call them by their name. He still calls Jerod and Lauren Jay-Jay and La La. But he also now says Mimi, Amy, Jon and he started calling Josh's mom Bibi this weekend. It's a little easier to say than Gran. We had a great time catching up, eating lots of good food and relaxing with his family. Now it's off to Josh's Dad's house on Thursday and my parents on Friday! I'm definitely going to need to visit the gym after three Thanksgiving meals plus all the yummy leftovers!! :)

Drive Time

Jonah had a lot fun pretending to drive Josh's car!

On the Market

After talking about it for awhile, we finally put our house on the market last week. I'm not sure we picked the best time of year to move but we'll see what happens. We've already had two showings so who knows. The good thing is we aren't in any rush. In fact I would prefer to move after the holidays. We are just hoping to sell our house and move closer to Josh's office in Dallas. So, if you know anyone looking to move to McKinney we have a great house looking for a new family!

It's that time of year

It's starting to be that time of year when you are so busy you feel like you are constantly in overdrive! These are the days I wish I had a few clones of myself stored in my closet. The last two weeks have been crazy. I worked the JLP American Girl Fashion Show last weekend and worked the Neat the Wreath market this weekend. We made a trip to Fort Worth this weekend and to top it off we put our house on the market last week so we've been busy having little cosmetic things done here and there. I'm also trying to get ready for Thanksgiving this weekend with Josh's family at our house, Jonah's Thanksgiving party at school, and then we are going out of town next weekend for Thanksgiving with Josh's Dad and my family. Plus I have to plan for my Girl's NYC trip which is the last weekend in November! Then December will be here and I think we have something planned every weekend - Christmas parties, my birthday, shopping, Christmas, a wedding! I'm thinking I should definately break out the clones of me and Josh and the real us should take a nice long holiday to the beach!!
