Solo Swim

Here's Ben's first solo swim! This was the first time I've seen his class swim without their teacher and Ben was pretty excited about it. He starts soccer (to win trophies like Uncle Tim) next weekend, and I was going to end the swimming lessons... but I hate to quit when he's making so much progress!

CRASH!!!!!

Ben and I were in a freaky car accident a few weeks ago. Thankfully everyone is a-okay - and Ben even seemed to enjoy it - a total boy! I had a complete WG moment since I went to high school with the cop who helped us after the accident, so nice. But, we had a crazy couple weeks without our car (thanks Bubba for loaning us the PT Cruiser and to our families for so many rides!!). We were wondering if the Passat would be totaled by insurance or not... well it WAS totaled, so, goodbye Passat and...

Hello, Mazda 5! We did our research quickly and bought a new Mazda this weekend. So far we like it - and Maggie and Ben seem to approve! There should be plenty of room for our growing family and our friends, so call us if you need a ride!! Although, I'm still a bit jumpy driving :)
