Overdue pics of the

Prius Hybrid! Sorry, this was long overdue. We have been a bit busy since Christmas and New Year. Nathan has been working and traveling more, and Jen has been preparing for her first conference just a couple weeks away. The fact that the conference will be in Hawaii makes it just a bit more stressful - this will be the first time she's been away from Veronica for an extended amount of time since Veronica has been talking. Veronica will be hamming it up with Grandma and Grandpa and Polar, Zam, Tick, Bruiser, Whiskers, and Hairy (six dogs) and Bob, Izzy, and Catalpa (3 cats). Nathan will be joining Jen in Hawaii, making a couple business stops while in the islands and in Oklahoma.
Anyway, back to the baby. She's been averaging about 48 miles to the gallon, and that's been helping a lot with the latest spike in gas prices. With Jen's commute of 35 miles ONE way, it gets filled up once a week for all of $20 or so. Saaawwweeeet. But yeah, it's a goofy looking car. And talk about a dichotomy - it's a tree-hugging, earth-saving car . . . and we got it with leather. ha ha. Save the earth! Kill the cows!
