It's a New Car, Bob

Well, new to us. We hated to see the old Passat go, but with growing maintenance cost and a need for a little more space it was time to get a new vehicle. It's a Ford Explorer with the all important third row seating. It's the closest thing we could find that had all the functionality of a mini-van, but is not a mini-van. Not that we have anything against mini-vans. Some of our closest friends drive mini-vans.

Gabbie's New Trick

Gabbie has been crawling for awhile now, and in the last past month has been pulling herself up to a standing position. Her new and dangerous stunt is climbing stairs. Thankfully we have gates on our stairs, but under close supervision Gabbie can climb the entire flight of stairs.

The 4th in Mississippi

We drove down to Mississippi to spend a little time with our families. It's a long drive, over 900 miles, but well worth it. Weslie and Gabbie had a fun time playing with all their cousins and aunts and uncles. We were in Mississippi for a little over a week, but the time just seemed to slip away.
