Well, my inlaws left this morning. Overall it was a good visit though just a little long. A lot of standing and sitting around due to the car situation and the rain during the week last week. Not much computer time for me either which is why my blahg entries have been short and sporadic.

It was great having them here for Dex's 1st Communion and they watched the kids for us when we went looking for and eventually purchased a new car. Now we have to deal with getting rid of the jalopy which is, at this very moment, broken down in a parking lot at Microsoft. *sigh*

So we bought a new car and Stephen wanted a navigation package which is actually really good because he has virtually no sense of direction. He gets lost all.the.time and often calls me from the car and tells me the cross streets and I tell him how to get to a highway or landmark he will recognize. The navigation system has a button that tells you exactly where you are and if you program in destinations (like home), you just hit the button and it will tell you exactly how to get home and will recalibrate if you get lost. It is exactly what he needed. And the car is more than we needed too but he wanted it so now we will only pay for two of the kids to go to college. Hopefully one of them will get a full scholarship. ;)

And of course two days after he bought the car, which takes premium gas, the Shell station around the corner started charging $4.19 for regular gas! *ugh*
