It seems like forever since the sun made its presence known to those of us in the midwest. We had a brief spot of sun today, but so far it is filtered through some grey dismal clouds. It is hard to get used to the weather here in the north again. For 5 years we lived in southwest Missouri and this time of year we had pretty good weather, but this snow from Thanksgiving to Memorial Day is too much. Yes I know I exagerate, but it feels true.
We finally got around to buying a new car. This has been a 3 1/2 year process(since our son Corban was born). We did only have a VW Beetle and with the way we have kids we did not have any notice so buying a car was not really possible. For the first six months, we had both kids in the Beetle alone. We finally found a Ford Focus and we had that for almost 3 years, but it never really fit us well. So we decided it was time. It is so nice to have room to move in the car. Traded in the Focus and got ourselves a minivan. Yeah, we are one of those people now. I swore I would never own a minivan, but having two kids has changed my mind on the whole subject. It is a nice Pontiac Montana with the DVD built-in. Can you say road trip?

Been gone for a while, but it is great to hear from you...I checked out your blog and saw your kids they are adorable. We are still in Illinois, but I am finishing up my Chaplains packet with 4 years to serve in the Reserve then who knows.
