NEW CAR!

This Monday we started looking for a new car that would work out with Obama's "Cash-for-Clunkers" progam. Justin's parents had a super old van that they wanted to trade in, and we were more than happy to participate. SO, this is our brand-new 2009 Honda Fit. It's a 5-speed and it drives wonderfully.

( Super tiny Japanese engineering )

(Now I'll "fit" in in D.C., or so Becky tells me)


* While we were singing before class today, Luke leaned over to look at a picture of Justin, myself and himself during Justin's reenlistment ceremony. Lukas smiled and without any prompting whatsoever he said "Da-da." He used his sweet voice and it almost brought me to tears. It's wonderful knowing that Lukas really identifies who his parents are, especially the "Da-da" he hasn't seen for weeks.


* Luke's other amazing thing that he did today left me staring in amazement. While playing with one of Uncle Zach's Wii controllers, Luke stood up and started walking around. I'm pretty sure he was completely unaware of what he was doing because he ended up taking approximately 10 steps. It was incredible.



Today was one of those days where all of the gifts that have been given to me just overwhelmed me. We are so blessed.


Love and best wishes to all until next time.
