Jacob sold his Dodge Ram pickup truck, and he bought a Mercedes! He looked and looked for just the right car and finally found it just outside of Chicago. He and Jamie went to pick it up, and here it is!

| Later that same day, the guys were all outside detailing the cars. |
Charlie and Jenna sat in the dunk tank for St. Jude this year.
Altogether, the dunk tank raised over $1,000.!

| Laura's favorite gift was a big bag of little balls. She thought they were hilarious! |

Char and I ran our Couch-to-5K together this morning. Well...we at least ran at the same time, just at a slightly different pace. Truth. Oxygen is thinner for taller people.
