* Eat 10,354 bars of chocolate
* take 7, 163 baths
* have 104,390 dreams
* speak 123,205,750 words
* Walk 15,464 miles
* Cry 121 pints of tears

* Read 533 books (Children's books must not count)
* get 628 Christmas presents"

Bruce also got a big gash on his chin when he fell and hit a rock, but he's fine.
He found this puddle while we were at a friend's this weekend and LOVED it!

Yesterday Brad drove home in his new truck!
It is beautiful and we are SO happy(especially Jane and Bruce.)
It was an amazing event/deal and now we are owners of a brand new 2008 Toyota Tacoma. (We've never brought a car from a dealership before and NEVER had a new car before so it's pretty exciting for us.)
Sweet Kate is almost 10 months old!
