A New Addition

No, I'm not pregnant again, . . . thank goodness. After one really long month, we have finally purchased a car. If all you remember, Rafael was in an accident a month ago and his car was totaled. I have to say, . . . I love the new car, but I absolutely hate car shopping. This fact added to the fact that it took the insurance company three weeks to pay us out for his wrecked car and to decide to get us a rental car, just about threw me into a fit. I'm so glad it is done. Now we just need to spruce up the car with some nice rims and get the windows tinted. I can already tell that this car is going to be Rafael's pride and joy, and maybe mine on occasion.

Yummy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving at the Funke's home, as always. All of the food was great and the kids had fun playing together. The best for me is that I still have never had to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for this year and have been very blessed as a family. Here are a few pictures of us all chowing down on the feast.

5 Months Old?

What happened to my newborn? It is crazy how fast he has grown. He is such a fun, loving and happy baby.

Darn He Is Handsome

I have to say . . . I think my Wesley is darn cute! Maybe I'm just biased, being his Mom and all. I had to take a few pictures of him in his church clothes this last Sunday to share. He is starting to look so much older already.

Update on Lydia

Lydia is doing much better after the accident. Her cut is healing well and the stitches are all gone now. We are still trying to keep her from being too crazy, so we don't have to revisit the hospital.

Halloween

We got home from the hospital just in time to be able to celebrate Halloween. Lydia was excited to get her mouse costume on and head out for some candy. We had Aaron, Debbie and Sabrina over to trick or treat with.

Sabrina was Cassie the dragon and Debbie was a pumpkin.

I of course was a witch but I didn't have enough time to put on all my makeup again so I'll just have to wait until next year. This year we had planned on doing a spook alley in our garage but we had to forget that idea and just put all of our decorations in the yard. It worked out great and I think all the little kids loved it. Here is a little taste of our yard.

Car Accident

We had a scary moment in our family this last Wednesday night. Lydia and Rafael were in a car accident near our home. Rafael had lots of bumps and bruises but is doing well. Lydia on the other hand, had a huge cut on her forehead. She was taken to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake. She ended up having a plastic surgeon work on her and got about 60 stitches. She had to stay in the hospital for 3 days and we were finally able to take her home on Halloween . . . just in time for trick or treating. The doctors said she needs to take it easy for the next few weeks. Try making a 3 year old sit still for just 5 minutes!!! She is doing well now and hopefully we can keep her tame for the next few weeks.
