New Car????

By ARM -
So, it was mentioned a couple of posts below that we got a new car, and that I was to post about the exciting details...well, it's turned out a little different than originally stated. We DID buy a new car, but we DID NOT keep the new car. We had entered an agreement to purchase a pre-owned metallic blue 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid that was transferred here for us from a dealer lot in Dallas. Generally speaking, the make and model is AWESOME; the hybrid technology is seamlessly integrated, it's very peppy and comfortable to drive, and we got just over 33mpg on the 500 or so miles that we drove it over 5 days. The problem is....the car had been in a wreck (undisclosed to us by the dealer), and there were multiple signs of a rear-end repair and repaint. So, we took advantage of the Dealer's 5 day, 100% money back satisfaction policy and gave the car back. What we did learn from the experience is that the Altima Hybrid IS the car we want, and we WILL be getting one....just not that one. More to come on this, but there will be a future post on how to buy a car over the internet from a remote location and have it shipped to your front door. My prediction is a 2008 Sonoma Sunset Nissan Altima Hybrid with blonde leather, the connectivity package and a sunroof.....stay tuned!!!

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Pappy = Pee-Paw

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
