New Things

New sister, new school year, new car...

After Greg's car failed its state safety and emissions testing, we decided it was time to part ways with the beast. We didn't want to pay the $1500 that was quoted to us as the price that would get it fixed up enough to pass. So we started searching for a new (used) car and finally found one on KSL. We took a test drive, were satisfied, and wrote a check. We donated Greg's car to the Kidney Foundation of Utah and watched it get towed away. It all happened so fast. But we are now the proud owners of a Hyundai Elantra.
Andrew and Nathan started their new school year on Monday. I'm not gonna lie. Having them in school has been good for everyone. I can continue to heal from surgery and have some down time a lot better with the number of children I'm responsible for cut in half. And since baby Elizabeth mostly sleeps all the time, I've been able to have some sweet one on one David time. Andrew is in 3rd grade and was lucky enough to be in the same class as his best friend, Brevin. Hope the teacher doesn't go crazy..She'll learn soon enough that maybe they might need to be separated because she had them right next to each other in desks on the first day.

Nathan is in first grade and was a little nervous as I left him that first morning. He's definitely not as social as his big brother and I hope this is a good year for him. I hope he can make friends and love going to school.


Goodbye old, dead, white car. Hi new car that runs!
