Nine years ago when we moved to Arizona we made the sad choice to sell our little Nissan truck since it didn't have A/C. It was a hard day for Matt knowing we weren't going to replace it right away. Well...9 long years later he finally feels whole again! He brought his new baby (aka: truck) home on Saturday! He's pretty dang happy and saying that he's as excited as a kid at Christmas doesn't adequately describe the mood around here. Apparently from what he says, all of the men who read this will understand...and all of you women...well, we knew what they were when we picked them up, right?
Hey Nancy! It's so good to hear from you! Congrats on the new baby. And I can't believe Nicole is 10!!! Crazy. Do you mind if I add you to my links? Lauree
I understand- we have an old Nissan that we really should get rid of and free up some garage space. It doesn't get used very much and it definately doesn't fit the family anymore- but my husband just can't become truckless with no replacement in the near future.
Here is a link to our Caring Bridge Blog that journals the story of our miracle boy and his new heart.

Out of the Mouths of Babes
Matt to kids: "I'm just being facetious." Corinne: "What's facetious?" Matt: "It means sarcastic." Corinne:"Well then just say 'sarcastic'! Why make it complicated? I mean, that's like, why would you say Czechoslovakia when you could just say Kentucky?!" (7/14/12)
Claire: "Grandpa, I want milk." Grandpa: "How do you spell milk?" Claire: Looks at grandpa for a minute and then says, "You tip it!". I'm sure she was wondering why he wanted to know how you "spill" milk. (7/8/12)
"Mom, when I yawn my eyes get sad." Claire, age 3 (3/14/12)
Paige: "Guess what happened at lunch today?!" Corinne: "Lady Gaga came?" Paige: "No. Better! My chocolate milk tasted like pink milk!!" (3/13/12)
"If we had to leave our house and could only bring 4 things I would bring: food, water, a guy who makes electric things work, and the wii." --Paige, age 8 (3/9/12)
"I really wish I had a different mom. One that's nice." ---Claire, age 3 (9/18/11) OUCH!!
5 y/o friend: "My brother's friend is scared of trees and branches." Spencer: "That's crazy!" Friend: "He thinks there's scary stuff in them." Spencer: "Like what?" Friend: "Porcupines" Spencer: "And mini-dragons?" Friend: "Yeah." (9/13/11)
