Thanksgiving 2006

In preschool, Ariella said she is thankful for Mommy and Daddy and Jonah. We are thankful for Ariella, too. Today we are having Thanksgiving with our friends Julie and Noah, at Julie's aunt's house. Ariella is looking forward to the sleep-over with Isabel and Abby.

Saturday, after 7 years, Rick is getting rid of his 2-door coupe BMW. It has been a fun car to drive, but the back-twisting to get Ariella in and out of the car for preschool combined with forecasts of high maintenance costs made getting a new 4-door car a good idea. A new Acura TL is on the way in the next few weeks. That means in 2006, we have:

* sold a house
* quit a job
* moved 400 miles
* moved into an apartment
* started a new job
* moved out of an apartment
* bought a house and moved in
* remodeled a house, adding new floors, paint, kitchen, window
* had a child start preschool
* sold a car
* bought a car

and, oh yeah,

* had a baby (who, as you can see below, is very smiley at 3 mos. old)

Anyway, will post more pictures later, but meanwhile, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
