My New Car!

So I FINALLY got my new(er) car! It's a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT. It's fully loaded with leather, sunroof, 6CD changer, AWD, Running boards and more! It's navy blue in color, and I absolutely LOVE it! Here are some pictures:

I know it's kind of dirty, but these pics were taken just after the hailstorm this morning, but it's really pretty when it's clean. :D

Some Good, Some Bad

I can't believe I haven't posted since February! Kalin and I have been desperately searching for a newer car for the family. Our cars are all more than 15 years old and have more than 150,000 miles on them, so we both believe it's time for something newer and more reliable, especially since I plan on going back to school this summer/fall. The only problem is that we are on such a tight budget that we can't afford monthly payments, so we only have so much to spend, and finding something that fits our budget and needs is proving very difficult. But patience is a virtue, and good things come to those who wait, so we're just biding our time until the perfect car appears.

Elijah is now nearly 6 months old, and rolls all over the place. He can sit by himself for about 10 seconds, but tends to fall backwards after those first 10 seconds. It won't be long before he's scooting and crawling all over the place. Then I'll really have my hands full!

Micah's vocabulary is growing everyday, and his enunciation gets better and better all the time. I'm thinking about sending him to Pre-K this fall when I (hopefully) go back to school, but Pre-K is only a half-day, so I would have to figure out transportation for him from Pre-K to daycare. I might just send him to daycare with Elijah, just to make it easier. But he's just so smart that I would hate to hold him back simply because it's easier.

No matter what, we sure have our work cut out for us for the next few months as far as decisions go, and I'll be praying for guidance every step of the way.
