Xander's New Friend & Car Troubles

Living out at Jason's parent's farm seems to agree with our little boy (He is his father's son!). There are alpacas, dogs, cats, lawn mowers, tractors (vroom vroom as Xander says), and a large driveway covered in rocks! They had two baby alpacas born last week (I'll post some pictures soon.) Someone is Jason's brother's house church needed to get rid of the last kitten from a litter. Jason's parents will sometimes take in new barn cats. This one is really cute and LOVES Xander. We go out and play with him everyday. Now when we go outside he will follow Xander around. He didn't have a name, so Jason and I decided to name him Chewie after Xander's burp cloth he chews on (and the kitten chews, so it works on some level....right?) It is a barn cat...I am just hoping it stays away from the road!

On a separate note Jason's truck and my car both broke last Thursday. Isn't that weird? Jason pulled into the base and went to pull away from the gate and it just stopped. It turns out my car was leaking break fluid from the back right drum break. Jason usually does all our car repairs himself, but with two not working he decided to have his towed to a shop and fix mine himself. He ended up replacing the drum break and break line in the rear tire. It took him the better part of Sunday afternoon and evening, but Xander, Chewie, and I kept him company for part of the time.
