when a new post is necessary!
And here goes the update...
First, I just got a new car. Yep. It's true.
I've got a little ol' pile of tin.
Nobody knows what shape it's in.
It's got four wheels and a runnin' board.
It's a four-door, it's a Ford.
Honk honk, rattle rattle rattle
crash, beep-beep.
Honk honk, rattle rattle rattle
crash, beep-beep.
Honk honk, rattle rattle rattle
crash, beep-beep.
Honk honk.
:]
Had to get that out. Anyway, it's a 1990 Mercury Topaz. Yes it indeed does have 4 doors and is a Ford (the keys say so, anyway)! It has a broken cd player and I love it. It just need some tlc as it was a to/from work car and is really dirty.
Next. Ava is crawling. Yes, Kennedi's (she is my oldest little sister for those of you who aren't aware) blog does read that she has been crawling for a while - but not like she is now. She is EVERYWHERE! I came inside today from talking with the people I got my car from (she was not alone in the house please know) and Ava (who was on a totally different side of the room by this time) got her first taste of pastels. Not the color - the things you USE to color. She was sitting down with a pile of them around her, licking one. I wouldn't mind so much if it were like crayons - but no - it had to be chalky pastels! Ew! Oh well. Hopefully she isn't a glue-eater since she liked those.
Also we had Ava's 6 month check up last week. She is now 16 lbs and 4 ounces. She is in the 50th percentile (as opposed to the 100th at her 4 month checkup) in her weight class now. I think she isn't as chunky now because she is moving around so much. She hardly ever lets me hold her anymore! Her head has moved up 3/4 of an inch since a visit one month ago - now to 16 inches around. AND her length is a whopping 28.5 inches. THIS is why my girl fits in 12 month-sized clothing.
Sean got a job this past week. He went back to a place he worked a few years ago and they ended up hiring him. I guess they realized that he is a little bit more mature now than he used to be. Hopefully this one works out for him. He is a cook at the Siding in Peru. Praise the Lord for the fact that he was able to get a job as this is something we've been praying about - now hopefully he can move in some other areas of Sean's life next!
We had a tree fall on our house this past Tuesday. Most people know about this so I won't bore everyone with the details but if you are a member of the Jones family and are interested, give me a call and I'll be glad to share the story with you. Actually, I need to call some of you anyway. It's been too long.
I have a video to upload but I am pinned to the chair by a sleeping baby in my lap (I know, I spoil her) right now and nobody answered my *nudge* to the downstairs computer by MSN Messenger so I suppose I will mosey downstairs in a bit to get the camera so that I can upload it. It is nice. Ava eating my face. Absolutely lovely. :D
Love,
Courtney
& Ava, too!

I am so glad to see an update! I haven't done very well with my blog this week either.
I'm glad to hear about your new car! Hopefully it works out well for you.
See ya tomorrow!
I'm so sorry, you are a "me!" I have influenced you entirely too much! But got a good chuckle out of your song! You didn't miss a word, I could even hear you singing it! Perhaps I sang that song to you too many times as a child? Seems it brought some little joy to you then that you have carried with you all this time. You bring more joy to me than you know! I'm blessed and grateful that you are my daughter Courtney. I love you, Mom
Hi dear grand daughter, I have just a few things to say about that little o' pile of tin. When your grandpa Steve and I would visit Uncle Jim and Aunt Sandy in our very young days, they always had fun songs to teach me for my children. I've got a little old pile of tin was the first. Over forty years, I have sang that to each of my children and grandchildren. I love you. Granny
