New Car

So we decided to update our vehicle situation and bought a new (new to us) vehicle over the holiday - it's a 2005 Toyota Matrix. It's just a little bigger than the Civics we're used to, but we really like it. Hopefully we won't have to purchase another vehicle for some time - it's stressful. Funny note: we currently have 4 vehicles because we're trying to sell our 2 older civics - any takers? Another funny note: it must run in the family because Dana and Nate also drive a Civic and a Matrix.

This photo was taken just a few hours ago - during the ice storm hence the glazed windshield.

Train

We promised the boys a ride on the infamous train @ the mall and we finally got to it. This was Jude's 1st ride on the train (not his last). Somehow he knew that the train went through a tunnel (actually through the Christmas tree). Jackson was such a good helper - of course, he's been on that train about a hundred times.

My DH

So I think DH stands for "Dear Husband" in the new texting language (I feel so old when I have no idea what OMG and TTFN mean - oh well). ANYWAY...... Jeremy has a special woodworking talent - some of you have seen all the furniture he's made for our house and some of the projects he's done for other people. It's beautiful work and he makes me so proud so I started him a little blog of his own to showcase - the link is on the left-hand side of this page called "4 Springs Woodwork" - check it out. There are just a few photos of the many things he's done - be sure to watch for more.
