Well, the van is acting up yet again! We just put money into repairs & came home from our trip noticing a new strange noise. I suppose that we should be thankful that we made it home & that the van didn't die on the side of the road somewhere between Sandusky & home.

Although we hate to pay someone else to work on the van, we are in a bit of a time crunch and really need the van fixed. We decided to drop the van off at the Dodge dealer & let them take a look at it. Everyone went to Nate's soccer practice tonight, then on the way home we dropped off the van. One problem....we can not all fit into the truck....so we walked home from the dealership. It is only about 1 mile, so really not too big a deal!

The three younger boys had a lot of fun playing at the park while Nate had his practice. There is a big play structure for the boys to play on & there was also a few kids Josh knew from school there also.

Ethan is getting much braver with walking. He has been cruising around walls & furniture for quite awhile. He finally decided it was time to take a few steps....it was just like he woke up this morning & said to day it the day! He has taken up to about 6-7 steps at a time, spanning quite a distance! Now if we can just get Zach to wake up and think "today is the day I stop wearing diapers!"
