New Car!

Jonathan and I had a niceweekend. We traded his truck in for a new car. We got a Honda Accord. It's a really nice car with lots of room and has that new car smell. It will save us lots of gas with Jonathan's commute, which is why we decided to get this car. Jonathan hasn't driven his new car yet this week because of the ice and snow. Instead he has taken mine with 4-wheel drive. Once the snow and ice leave I think it'll be good car for us.

(Not the best picture. My apologies.)

More Snow

More and more snow. It just keeps coming and staying cold. Last week it was actually warmer and some of the snow began to melt making it wet enough to stick together and build a snowman.

This is James' first snowman. He enjoyed adding the carrot for the nose and eyes and mouth. I am sad to say that after a couple of days the snow man began to melt and he no longer looks as good, but since we are getting more snow, maybe they can build another one.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

So I am a few days late in posting this since Jonathan's birthday was a few days ago, but thats okay. It was a fun time. I have to say I am terrible and did not take any pictures of Jonathan on his birthday. Oops.

A few days before Jonathan's birthday James and I were at Target. As we were walking through I asked James what he thought we should get daddy for his birthday, not really expecting an answer. James replied, "puzzle, puzzle". I was shocked he continued with this idea for a couple of days. So the day of Jonathan's birthday I asked him what are we going to get daddy today? He said, "puzzle, puzzle." So we went and found a puzzle for Jonathan. I gave James a choice of one that was a puppy and on that was a train. He firmly said no to the puppy puzzle.

After supper that night Ruth asked James if he had a present for daddy to open. He then said, puzzle not quite understanding the idea of a surprise. So daddy opened his puzzle, and when James goes to do this puzzle it is always "daddy's puzzle". It's so sweet to see him be thoughtful and full of ideas. What fun! Happy Birthday Jonathan!
