Van Wanted

Well, the adjuster came and after much calculating decided that our van is to be totaled. I am sad. Although we were to purchase a new van this Summer, our now totaled van was supposed to become hubby's car, not be hauled off as if it had never been an important vehicle in our lives. It is the car in which we grew our family and I am sad to see it go...
We are thankful to friends from church who have loaned us a van until we can find our new one. It is a 7 passenger, so it's just us!

So, Van Wanted! If you are selling a fabulous 15 passenger, low miles, practically new Chevy Express or GMC Savana, please leave me a little comment with some contact info.

Venison! It's what's for dinner.

Doe a deer, a female deer

Ray of hope for meat for winter

Me wrapping it up all pretty

Far a long long way to tow

So we may get our new van early

La Mommy's not holding her breath

Tea we won't drink as we are nauseous

Which brings us back to Doe free Doe

Daniel turned 4!!!!

Our sweet no-longer-baby boy turned FOUR on October 29th. We have been so busy and his party was such a big full day that I did not have time to post about him. So, Happy Belated Birthday Buddy! We love you so much. You are an amazing blessing to us and we are thankful to be your parents. XOXO

Here are a few pictures from his big day! We start each birthday morning with the kids waking up to the house decorated for them. We always put something in the doorway of their bedroom. For Daniel we hung 4 balloons so that he had to walk through them to come out of his room in the morning. We then put Speed Racer table cloth, plates and napkins on the table so that was ready to go for his special breakfast that he picked out: "vanilla donuts, chocolate donuts, sausage, eggs because they are healthy and lollipops!" Then we had family and friends to the house in the late afternoon/early evening for "pin the license plate on the hot-rod," more yummy food and of course cake and ice cream. It was such a fun day and he was so pleased.

He was so excited he pulled the cake off the counter.
Yea! It was still enclosed and only slid to the back of the box.
