The miata has gone the way of all the earth

Tragedy has struck our family, in that Peter's baby is totaled. He went on a ride with a friend after church and next thing he knew, the car was upside down next to a park. It started with catching some air on a dip in the road, which then sent the car wild. It got sideways and hit a pole, and then a fire hydrant, which eventually flipped them. While both the driver and Peter survived with hardly a scratch (we are counting our blessings), our little miata did not. Peter called me to come pick him up and this is the sight I saw when I arrived.



As you can see, the car is now a pancake. In the next picture you can see how far the fire hydrant was dragged. Kind of surprising that no water gushed out! Also, the city was nice enough to send a bill to our insurance to fix it.



Here you can see how the windshield just completed bent but provided just enough of a cushion for the boys to get out. Peter was able to get out by himself but the driver had a hard time getting his seatbelt undone and was cut out by the fire department.


And finally, the car after the tow guy flipped it.


It is really sad to see this car go but we are so grateful Peter was safe and watched over!

The newest member of the Andrew Family!

And no it is not a baby. But isn't this one cute?? Amanda, Steven, and Lincoln came to visit us for Thanksgiving and I just could not get enough of the little guy. Look at that smile!

Here's the real new member. We recently lost the scooter, and by lost I mean it was stolen out of our parking spot. That's why I am so grateful Peter wrote his own policy for it and we were covered. Rather than replace it with something else to get stolen, we got this baby:
A 1994 Mazda Miata. We came to a compromise that Peter could get this car as long as I get to drive it during the week and he can race it on the weekends. Isn't it cute?

Thanks to the 70 degree weather we had yesterday, we can still drive with the top down some.
