Updates

We bought a new (new to us, anyway) car this weekend. We went to Car Max and traded in our cute, little green 2000 Honda Civic for a cute, slightly larger silver 2003 Toyota Rav 4. Yes, Josh has turned to the Dark Side, as he puts it. The man who swore he'd never buy an SUV and was constantly deriding those who do buy SUVs has purchased what? An SUV! Sometimes you just have to laugh at the turns life takes. At least we have four doors now (actually, it's more like five because the back opens sideways rather than up), which will make getting the baby in and out a bit easier than it would have been with the Civic's two doors.

And speaking of babies.......

After coming home from CarMax, Josh called his dad to tell him all about the new car. He left a message since his dad wasn't in. We didn't hear from him until yesterday morning, at which point we were informed that Heather, his girlfriend, gave birth to their son at 11:59 Saturday night, which is why they weren't in when Josh called. So Josh and his brother Ben now have a baby half-brother named Nicholas Jonathan Cook, born about five weeks early but doing very well.

And soon the Cook family tree will have another little branch. I have my next doctor's appointment tomorrow, so we'll see how much progress our Baby Cook has made since last week.
