The Latest and Not So Greatest

Well there's nothing to really blog about, but there were a couple pictures we've taken recently that I wanted to post, so here's a post anyway.

This week has been real busy and yet nothing too exciting has gone on. It has been an expensive week for us since our VW Passat failed the state inspection for the third year straight. Two years ago it failed because of the headlight adjusters, last year it was a tie rod, and this year it was a tie rod as well as some pump thing that we ended up having to go to a dealer to get fixed. That cost a pretty penny of course.That car has become a money pit, but luckily Ben really only drives it to work and church. Since Ben has been driving around with an expired inspection tag it worries him a little bit, so we need to get the tie rod fixed and get another inspection pronto. For some reason it always seems that these type of expenses come during the holidays, our anniversary or birthdays so that we feel guilty spending money on presents. Take for instance last year when I got in a car accident, or the year that my tooth decided to have the bonding break off. Good times. It's reasons like this that I'm glad Ben has a job and that I still have my 2 jobs. You know, for a rainy day. We've decided that Ethan will be getting diapers for Christmas and a half-full bottle of Tums that he can shake. Lucky kid. Anyway, here are some recent pics of the star of our family.

How Ethan looks when Ben feeds him

Ethan loves to look outside, but can't really stand on his own

We're loving the old man sweater Grandma... thanks!
