Pre-vacation update

We are off on vacation on Wednesday for 2 1/2 weeks - FINALLY! We are SO looking forward to doing a little hiking, a little exploring, a little lazing around (well, except for Matthew that is). We've got new DVDs and toys for the flight. Upgraded us all to first class with our miles - why not?

Things are going really well with speech therapy - lots and lots of new words these day, and he's moved into using 2 word combos, which is a big step. Hopefully missing three weeks won't hurt progress.

And - I got a new car. Finally! The Xterra was great but the damn thing overheated every day, and Nissan wanted $1000 to fix it. It was only worth about $5k, so I just bailed, sold it to Carmax and bought a 2006 Acura MDX Touring with all the bells and whistles - navigation system, rear seat DVD player, backup camera, you name it. It's a sweet ride - black leather and zebra wood interior, a khaki metallic green exterior. So we are officially a two Acura family these days.

Matthew likes the new car but keeps saying "old car" and pointing out all the Xterras that go by. Sorry, kiddo, no looking back!
