Got a new car. It is a 2008 Mazda CX9 and I love it. I started looking at them about 3 years ago and so we just had to wait for it to depreciate so we could afford it. Love Love Love it! 
Grace insists on staying up to read so we let her. This is how we often find her when we go in to turn out her light. There are so many books in her bed I and she just sleeps around them.
Brian is getting big! 
Grace got to hang out with her cousins at Uncle Thad's wedding.
Grace and Brian are becoming best friends and it is so much fun. Brian adores his big sister and Grace loves making him laugh.
Brian has started rolling over and once he gets going he doesn't stop and will barrel roll across the floor. He usually gets mad on his stomach but here he is looking pretty happy.
On the way home from Thad's wedding the AC went out and the car started making funny noises. (I knew we were in trouble when I called my dad to tell him what the car was doing and he asked me to call him every hour) Well we took the car in and there was just so much wrong with it.... Not to mention the list of inconveniences with it (a trunk that won't stay up, the driver side power locks going out, the mirrors falling off etc.....) we just couldn't justify fixing it since we had been planning on buying a family car in June/July anyways. So we bid farewell to you little red car and we will remember all the good times. Numerous road trips, our first date, our honeymoon, both of our kids coming home from the hospital. Though there were some low points, we hope our new car will be as good to us.
Grace wanted the convertible.
At Thad's wedding grace got to go on a tractor ride!
Swinging by the lake.
Brian trying out his swing in our backyard.
Grace passing out after church. We are on the afternoon schedule now and it is fairly miserable.
When Brian was blessed all the Ussing cousins were together so we took a picture. Fortunatly the one's the photographer got turned out much better.
Brian just chilling!
