Family Updates

I have been slacking on my posts but to my defense, I haven' t been feeling well the last few days. And NO...I am not pregnant.

I still have tons of pictures of Delta to post but I figured I would give a brief update first. Benjy got a new, old truck to replace his Ford. I keep meaning to take a picture to show everyone but obviously that has happened yet :) He got a black 1997 Dodge Sport. It looks like crap but I think it is going to run well. The outside has completely oxidized and the interior looked horrible when we first picked it up but we have done a TON of work on it. The interior actually looks pretty decent know, the smell is gone, and we have lessened the oxidation. Now it is time to dig into the in-erds of the beast. Cross your fingers that we don't find any bad news!! There are two things are really great about this truck. #1-No truck payments!!! Happy day! The payments on the Ford we doing more damage to us then helping. #2-It gets the same (if not a hair better) gas mileage as the Ford did!! YEAH!!!!!!! We pay a ton in gas every month (last month our gas bill was over $700! Kill me now. Granted that did include 1 trip to Vegas.) so I was worried our bill was going to skyrocket but it totally didn't. Some one is looking out for us. Second item of business, we have a crawler! Rees has started doing the army crawl thing. The little turkey is so stinking fast. I turn around for one second and he has gotten across the entire living room and is under the desk having a hay day in the cords. Let the baby proofing begin!

I'd love to see a picture of the truck when you get a chance. Don't you love how if you're not feeling well for like a second and are in child-bearing years everyone assumes your pregnant??? So fun. So I'm glad you made it very clear! lol :)
That's fun (and not so fun) about the army crawl! I'm sure he's very proud of himself. Can't wait to see you guys!

It's amazing how hard it is to sit at the computer for a couple minutes and blog isn't it?!?!?!? If I had about 5 extra hours in the day I might be able to get around to it.
That's exciting that Rees is crawling!! I'm sure he is going to be up and running before you know it. Those wires wont even have a chance.
Hey are you guys coming back down to test?? We'd love to see you. And Jackie said she would love to hear how you are doing. I told her the next time I went in for an appointment I would give her your blog address. Is that okay?!?! She is married and really happy.
OKay long comment I know, I'm going.
