HOORAY for Handyman Lonnie!!!!!!!

About two months ago, our sweet, wonderful, dear child lovingly placed 3 shiny pennies in the CD player in the van. Instantly, no more radio, no more CD's, no more DVD's. Dustin and Lonnie worked to fix it, but even after removing the coins, it still didn't work. Soooooo, two months and $300 dollars later, it's fixed!!!!! (and just in time for our 10+ hour drive with 3 kids to Indiana for Thanksgiving.)


The new radio came in today, and we all played in the van while Lonnie worked on it. The second that the radio turned on, it started BLARING Barry White's "Let's Get it On." We got a good laugh out of that. So we knew the radio worked, but the true test was the DVD player. We popped in Elmo and hooray!!!!! It worked! But just to be sure, we stayed crammed in the van for about 15 minutes watching it (while parked in the garage). I learned that Ethan's carseat is not too terribly uncomfortable! Add a toddler on the lap, and it started to get a little less comfortable, though. (I know, random useless information)

Lonnie wanted documentation of him "fixing" the radio:

Completely unrelated, but doesn't Ethan look so cute in his big boy bed? He looks so tiny!
