Landon started back to preschool this week. We are trying a new one that is closer to our house and so far so good. He was in full character this morning as we entered the building (well Liam was too!), they said hi to everyone we passed, hugged a few here and there, and he ran into his room with out even telling me bye....sob sob. I was like, "okay...I love you....I'll pick you up later....bye...". Then when I went to pick him up he didn't want to leave but I quickly assured him that we would be back on Thursday, so then he decided it would be alright to come home. Then he and Liam put on a great show for several of the parents and directors by embrassing in a HUGE hug and Liam told Landon, 'I wuv you Wandon" and Landon squeezed Liam tighter and said, "Ahhh, he must have missed me so much today. I love you too brother." Nope, they aren't always like that, but they do really love each other!!
Now on to my favorite birthday present.........my new mini-van!!!! I love it already. We were planning on getting one in a couple months but Kevin's car had other plans. The radiator went out last week and the starter has been going out lately and it was going to be a very costly repair. So we decided to make the jump to the mini-van early and say good bye to 'Black Lightening' (my sister's nickname for Kev's car....it was her first car:). I was thankful that we had been researching already and we had narrowed down our options before Kevin called me last Tuesday and said, "Get online and find your van Laura." We had decided to only search for Toyota Siennas and Honda Odysseys that had low miles and were only 2 or 3 years old. And of course it had to be a color I liked....I was a little picky:) So anyway long story short, we haggled on our top choices all week, almost ended up with a Pilot, but in the end we came back to our senses and realized that you can't beat sliding doors and middle row bucket seats and a dealer found us a van in color that I loved that was finally a price we were willing to pay and the fact that it had a dvd player was icing on the cake.
So enough suspense, here's our new ride. Words can't describe how much the boys love it, they act like we are going to Disney World every time we tell them to load up in the new van!! I'm sure that will wear off soon....:)

Just wait. It is going to look so cool when I get the racing stripe down the middle and flames on the sides.
The flames on the side will be pretty sweet...almost as sweet as seeing Chris and Kevin playing golf in the van! I'm happy for you guys:)
