Big Day!!

We have had a very busy and exciting day!!  We started the morning a bit slow and cranky, but it quickly got better!!  We bought a new lap top from Best Buy yesterday, but it wasn't working.  So the kids and I exchanged it this morning and so far so good with the new one!

 When we got home from Best Buy, guess what Emerson did?!  She decided to WALK!!!!  It was so cute and so exciting!  Blake and I were cheering her on and she was so proud of herself, it was adorable!!  In the past she'd take a few steps towards a wall, or the coffee table, a push toy, etc, etc and then continue on with a hand on something sturdy.  Today she ventured off all on her own and walked all over the place - without holding on!!  I have lots of video and will try to post it on Facebook!  She's so cute walking, she grins and giggles and stops and claps for herself!!  What a girl!  We thought she might be 2 by the time she ventured off on her own, thankfully not!  She's so sturdy though, her balance is very, very good from all those months of practicing and squatting, etc!  No weebling or wobbling!  Way to go Em :)

This afternoon we headed out to Stony Plain to talk to Jim at Stony Chrysler about a mini van.  Turns out he had pretty much exactly what we were looking for on the lot!  We're the proud new owners of a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan!  Yay!!  I'm definitely not one of those people who've said, "I'll never drive a mini van!"  I've always been more like, "One day I'll drive a mini van!!"  Guess that's my practical side!!  It's so nice to drive and I LOVE the options!  It was a touch screen navigation system and stereo, with a back up cam, Sirus satellite radio, blue tooth for your phone, 2 DVD screens, power everything (all the windows, even the back ones!), it's so luxurious compared to my little, plain car!!  Oh, and it's "titanium" ... fancy word for dark grey ;)  We will pick it up in a few days!

So that's our exciting day :)  Talk to you again soon!!
