Busy Week!

We had quite a big week! On Saturday, my lease on my car was up, which meant we had to get a new car. For several weeks, we have been researching the best cars for our needs. Several weeks ago, we drove to several dealerships to just look at the cars we thought would be possible. We went when they were closed, so that we could just look without getting forced into something. We wrote down all of the possibilities and then we signed up for consumer reports. We looked everything up and then narrowed down our list to two cars that fit all of our needs. So, we test drove the Toyota Sienna and the Ford Taurus X. While at Ford, we also drove the Ford Flex. After driving the cars, we decided to eliminate the Taurus and add the Flex.

So, last week, we talked to both Toyota and Ford and ended up with a better deal on the Flex. It had all of the features we wanted, plus a few extras and the bonus was that it was in Red!! My favorite color! On Saturday, we packed up the boys and headed to Ford to buy my Flex! We love it and it has been fun getting used to all of the new little features. We are so excited about it and Ethan loves it!!

Then on Sunday, we celebrated Micah's baptism. Our friends Andy and Becky were his Godparents. We all headed to lunch afterwards, and it was fun to get a chance to catch up with friends and family. Micah did such a great job at his baptism, everyone was impressed. My pastor walks the babies down the aisle a little so that everyone can see the newest member of the church. Micah seemed to just take it all in. He sat there just looking at everyone, which was so cute. We were so happy to finally celebrate his birth and his being a child of God. It was a pretty busy weekend, but we had such a great time with everything.
I will post some pictures of the baptism and my new car as soon as I have them :)

On a sadder note, we lost a young boy in our church congregation on Sunday. He was 11 years old and passed away unexpectedly. I would like to ask you to pray for his family. His name was Larry and he was such a bright spot in our church. His family is obviously having a difficult time dealing with the loss of Larry. It has been a shock to all who knew him. Today was the funeral. Please pray for all who knew Larry, especially his parents and sister.
