Our new wheels

It seems that everyone except Audrey got some new wheels for Christmas (although she did get a new doll stroller - does that count?!). Conner got a new bike (Daddy was instructed by Santa to get him one) and has been enjoying riding it in this crazy warm weather we've been having.

Yesterday the three of us went for a walk. Conner rode his new bike and Audrey and I walked. The bike is bigger than his old one (of course) and is a little harder to ride up the hills, but he gave it a good effort! Conner told me that it goes super fast because it has wings - the front wheels have things coming out of them which I assume you could stand on while riding. But we won't tell him that! He did fall once - I'm not sure how, because it was a straight stretch of road - but got right back on and made it home with no other problems.


Eric called yesterday afternoon and told me to get the van cleaned out; they'd reached an agreement on the new Ford Flex! It's amazing what kind of stuff was in the van... But I got the kids buckled in and, after a few stops, met Eric at the dealer (which is all the way over by Tri-County Mall - totally not on our side of town!). Around 8:30 we walked out with the new keys! It was a good drive home; the car rides so nice and we had a good time playing with the Sync (a voice-controlled system that you can use for your phone and other of the options on the car). There are also some lights (for ambiance, I suppose) that you can change the colors on - Conner really enjoys that aspect of the new car (along with the cupholders!). He also took his first nap in the car (hopefully first of many!).

I woke up this morning around 9:00 when Conner came in and said "Why are you sleeping so long?" Audrey was still sleeping and didn't wake up until 10:00 when I went up to get her. She obviously wasn't feeling well - I didn't get a smile out of her for at least an hour and she just laid down on the couch where I put her. Little by little she started feeling a little better and started playing but was ready to go take a nap at noon after she ate lunch! It's just about 3:00 now and I'm just starting to hear her stir - hopefully she's feeling better now!

Almost forgot - Conner drew a picture of a hippo on Audrey's new Doodle Pro that he was very proud of (he even put one eye on it and said the other eye was on the other side of its head!).
