The new van! It's used, but still in very good shape.

 Surprise, surprise!! The other new car. =)

 A VW Rabbit, isn't it great? It is supposed to be for me, I think, but I've only driven it once. It's a standard, so it may be a while yet.

 Mama's birthday was Wednesday. We usually do fruit platters for birthday breakfasts. They are  a hit all around.

 Daddy was in charge of the fruit. That is his area of expertise, anyways. =)

Final bit of news. Katie dropped a piece of firewood on her foot yesterday morning, so she's rather incapacitated. It is very large and purple. She'll be on crutches for at least a couple days. It's not broken but Dad says the tendon is damaged. Worst case scenario is that she'll be hobbling around over Thanksgiving when the cousins are here. Hopefully she'll be fine by then.
