No we are not crazy and medical science did not make it possible. His name is Truman and he is a gold Chevy Traverse. Vivian the van finally died (got towed 3 times in 45 days) and we hit the end of our patience. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles it does have a few cool new toys like bluetooth - who knew how much easier it is to answer a call when you don't even need to know where your purse is in the car - and a back up sensor camera. We have already had two neighborhood kids test this out and are lucky enough that the beeping started when they ran behind a moving car. We hope to have at least 11 years with Truman like we had with Viv.

Quick new post since it is Easter break and I am not working this week (okay not getting paid to be at work, but trying to get to all of the stuff I can't do and be employed at the same time)!!!
Amy is in California this week on a choir trip and is now a licensed driver. She had her first real date last week before she left town and is really enjoying high school. She is dancing 10 hours a week right now, working at the dance studio, and busy with choir.
Robbie has just recovered from a sprained, not broken, wrist and is busy with Scouts, Tap, Tumbling and being a 7th grader. This week he has spent most of his time between playing out in the yard and playing Wii or DS. In short, he is enjoying being a kid before he has to be a teenager (although sometimes I think he has already crossed over the line).
Aaron has been reading as much as he can find lately. We have to keep reminding him that it is past his bedtime and go to sleep already. He is a great helper to me at home and at school. If I need something done, I ask Aaron.
Jaredd is so excited that he will be 8 in a couple of weeks. He has wanted to be a Cub Scout since he was 3 and is looking forward to his baptism in May.
We enjoyed a short trip to LA in February to see Paul's niece Sarah and Foti get married. We also managed to sneak in a day at Disney. Then it was back to the grind and real life until this week. Now the craziness starts with the school Art Auction and Field Day, and getting ready for the recital at the dance studio. Paul is also starting construction season, so his Fridays off may be going away for the summer soon. But we are all happy and healthy and so it is good to be crazy busy.
