Saturday evening we spent some great time as a family listening to tunes, baking some cookies, and dancing around. Looks like we have some performers in our future.

New Car brings on comforting words from Kenna
Over the weekend while we were at our friend's wedding we noticed a crack in our windshield. When we went to have it fixed on Monday, we were told that it was unrepairable. The inevitable had happened. We had to get rid of Amy's 13 year old Grand Prix. Well, Amy freaked out. We just weren't looking forward to making 2 car payments. We really wanted to get the Explorer paid off first. When Amy was having her small melt down she began to cry. Kenna wanted to know why mommy was crying. The conversation went some thing like this.
K: Mommy, why you crying?
M: The red car is too broken to fix and mommy is upset about the money it will take to replace it.
K: Mommy, you can have the money in my piggy bank. Then you wont cry anymore.
M: That's ok, Baby, you keep your money.
K: Mommy, it will be ok. We go get a new car and you be happy.
So, on Tuesday we traded in our 1995 Grand Prix for a 2005 Grand Prix. It was kind of a sad day. That car was good to Amy for many years. Luke took it pretty hard. He really loved the red car and asked a few times if we can take the black one back. It is all a little stressful, but we'll get through it. We always do.

Three-year-olds on a bus?
Yep. This morning Luke and Kenna rode the bus for the first time. As of this morning they are now going to speech twice a week and they ride a school bus. They absolutely loved it. When they got home Kenna even asked if they could go again tomorrow. We are hoping that this love for school will last for about the next 20 years or so.
