Fun weekend so far

This weekend has been pretty eventful so far. The new car that I’ve been negotiating for with the dealership finally arrived on Friday and we went to pick it up after work. We’re the proud new owners of a 2009 Toyota Venza (yes, the VW streak has come to an end). We were looking for something stylish, great reliability, low cost of maintenance, and full of utility (read not a minivan)… the VW Passat wagon was in the running, but the Venza looks so much nicer and the interior feels more like a Lexus than a Toyota. I will post more photos in the coming days, but here’s one to tide you over…

On Saturday we attended our friends Jeff and Jennifer’s son’s birthday party. Ethan turned 2 this past week and we celebrated with lots of running around, playing with bubbles, eating cupcakes, and tearing open presents. The weather was a bit warm and humid so we were constantly going in and out of the house, but the heat didn’t seem to bother the kids. Again, I’ll try to post more photos soon but here’s a teaser… Ethan knows that the best way to eat a cupcake is icing first

Tomorrow the plan is to go to church in the morning, grab some more photos of the Venza down by the 360 bridge, Mel is going to see 17 Again while I go to the gym, and then we’ll work on preparing to move Mel’s desk out of her office and into the loft. Should be jam packed day… and with that I’m going to get to bed (yes, it’s after 1am here… I’m definitely a night owl).
