The "New"s

We've had a lot of "new"s lately so we thought we'd share a few...
First of all...we had to buy a new car. Our poor little reliable Mazda truck blew up on us, so we traded it in for a Honda Accord. We are loving our new little car! It is fabulous! It fits our family better than the truck did anyways, plus its not rear wheel drive and the kids really love that it has windows that they can roll down (you must have your priorities!!!)

Next, Zach lost his tooth...sort of...ok, well he had to get it pulled...but he has a fantastic window right in front now! His tooth got an abcess and we had to get it pulled so it didn't infect his big tooth! Unfortunately, the big tooth really isn't that close to coming in...so we will have a window in the front for a while!

We've been remodeling and redecorating our house! We finally finished the spare room in the basement. Drywall, carpet and a few layers of paint later, Savannah has a new room. It is cute...we still have a few finishing touches we need to put on it...but it is livable and she is loving having her own room!

More of Nan's room!

We also redid the boys room and moved Jessi into it! Here is the before picture...

...and here is the after picture of Jessi's new room. She is also enjoying having her own room...though Nate is still sleeping there because we haven't finished the boy's new room yet!

We are redoing the girl's old room in the basement for the boys. We have moved Zach down there but haven't gotten in repainted yet...so we will post pictures when that is done! Needless to say...it has been a busy little bit! In final news...Nathan had an appointment with the cardiologist and his VSD is gone...we are soo happy! No open heart surgery. He still has a murmur, but it is a Still's murmur...also known as an "innocent childhood murmur"! Counting our blessings! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
