All Things New

Well, 4 things at least. Along with the New Year came 3 other new things specific to our little family.

1. We got a "new" car! My poor old Jeep was just tired out, and though I loved her terribly, it was time to say goodbye. So our new car is actually a 2007, but it's new to us! And we're very pleased. A seemingly random choice - it's a Mercury Mariner. (I have no idea how to insert a cute little link like others do, but you can see what they look like here: http://www.mercuryvehicles.com/mariner/gallery.asp?searchid=42644128125770205374986)

2. Barrett has teeth! His two bottom teeth are now plainly visible and he looks like such a big boy now when he smiles. Precious.

3. Matt started his new job. This one hasn't earned an exclamation point yet. We're thrilled that he is gainfully employed in the financial services industry in this job market, but he's still learning to love it. I'm terribly proud of him, though, and he's already making a name for himself there, it seems.
