Happy New Year to everyone, we had a fairly uneventful new years, but again Doug was off for 4 1/2 days, so that made it great around here. We started off by watching the Beavers barely pull off an offenseless Sun Bowl win against Pittsburg, but hey a win is a win right! Actually we watched quite a bit of football over the course of the holiday, On Friday we made the big step and bought ourselves a new-to-us Suburban, that is a decade newer than any of our other vehicles. I know you are thinking, why get a big gas hog like that, well, it has everything we want in a camping/roadtrip/family vehicle and it doesn't get any worse gas mileage than the smaller Honda we have been driving. We are really happy with it so far, although most of the driving we have done is back and forth from the dealership for test driving. Sunday evening Doug had another soccer game against the St. Louis Illusion, it was a low scoring game, but in the last few minutes the Lightning scored a couple goals to go ahead and win 4-2, one of the local papers that wrote an article and published a photo, caught both Rachel and I in the stands right behind the action, check it out at http://www.greeleytribune.com/article/20090105/SPORTS/901059997/1010&title=Late%20score%20lifts%20Lightning The team is playing the Denver Dynamite yet again on Friday evening, so hopefully the Lightning will take the lead in the series again.

Bath time with bubbles, our favorite
Fun at Mulberry pool with Grandma Cindy and mommy, both kids loved the water coming out of the play structure, we had fun plugging holes and shooting water up in the air 
Rachel loves splashing water

Thanks to your contribution to GM used car sales, the company can now go another 7 minutes without filing bankruptcy! Way to contribute!
We hear ya on the SUV. The Xterra we have gets 15-16 mpg in the city and 20ish on the hwy. Those are tough numbers to suffer in this region of the US--they buy us a lot of disdainful looks. But it's been such a fabulous all-around vehicle, that I can't imagine having anything different.
