Mark and Max

We got another car at the end of summer.  Good thing too because Mark doesn't like the cold at all.  I had him parked out on the street and Max in the driveway and couldn't start him for awhile.  During the two days that Eric has been home so far this month he bought jumper cables, put a little gas in him and got him started.  We moved him to the garage (exiling the bikes out to the back yard under a tarp) so that he can be a little warmer this winter and start when we need him, mostly on Sundays. 

Max is a super fancy company car.  There are DVD screens in the headrests of the two front seats so Miles is always asking me if we're going in "Max car" whenever we have to go anywhere.  Max only plays German DVDs (PAL, region 1 or 2, whatever, I have no idea.) so we don't have very many.  Two Caillous and Toy Story 3.  (We can choose English but we like to listen to Caillou in German.)  Whenever I have long errands to do I beg Eric to take the bus so I can have Max.  He makes long trips in the car so enjoyable!

Aren't Miles' snow pants great?  Lizzie is in the back with the blue and black snow suit.  The other two kids are McKay and Morgan, our cousins.  After this picture I was at the store getting snow pants for Rand and Camilla, because they didn't have any that fit, and I broke down and bought Miles some brown ones.  (The pink ones were given to us by a family that was returning to the US when we moved here and they had a little girl.)
