12-7-2012 Mercedes it Is!

Charlie has been having quite a bit of trouble with both of his Chevy work trucks. Today he bought a 2011 Mercedes Sprinter. He'll attach a Supreme Spartan work truck body to the back. this will be Truck #10. Truck #9 is in the garage, where it's been for about 3 weeks. We're waiting for a price for a new engine. Truck #8 will be sold.

We learned earlier in the evening that a customer did not get approved for financing an addition that would have kept us busy for 3 months or so. not great timing, but Charlie wanted to move forward with the truck purchase. Hope we won't regret it.

Our health insurance is going up 10% over last year. Still less than what we were paying 2 years ago.

Lily has started basketball...her dream. She has practices on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Games will start after Christmas.

Luke seems to be doing pretty well. He's been playing a lot with Legos the past few days. And building his cup castles. For Christmas he asked for $100 worth of red plastic cups so he can build even better castles. He then comes up with videos filming their destruction  and posts them to YouTube.

We are planning on having Christmas here again this year. Mom is working Christmas Day, so we'll celebrate on the 24th. Santa understands and makes allowances for health care workers.

Mom and I went shopping Wednesday and she bought the last of what she wanted to get for the kids. We had a good time. It was nice for me to have a break from my daily life. dad stayed with Luke. Lily was in school.

Weather has been mild. We had minimal flurries and a dusting last week. Rain today, although Jill and Eric encountered some black ice this morning going to work an hour north of here. I definitely don't miss worrying about driving in bad weather!
