Well, I have to say this has turned out to be a pretty great week. Rex had a milestone birthday. Becca, Stan and
Emer came over to celebrate. Rex opened gifts and we all ate some cake. Also this week ...we got a new car! Wow. We finally settled on a 2008 Mazda
CX-7 and we couldn't be happier. It's red with tan, leather interior and has 32,000 miles on it. It's a crossover vehicle--not a car and not an SUV but something in between. A perfect size, especially when it comes to parking. I'm sure I could go on and on but let's get to the pics.

Carmax website.)

Interior.

Plenty of cargo space.

They have a play area at
Carmax. This was a lifesaver. We could take turns on our test drives and baby was super happy. We had a great
experience buying from them.

Ava is growing out of her little play gym. Soon baby girl Thayne will be playing in it.

Pretty baby. I think this is a Lucy outfit. So cute.

She can pull up to a standing position now.

Playing before bed.

Looking out at the Christmas lights.

This banana pillow we got from Target, years ago, makes a great door cozy.

Blue, blue eyes.

Emerson is over his cold and came to play on Rex's Birthday.

Sweet cousins.

A little light reading.

Always check your sources.

Bath time is the best time.
