saab saab saab




and this was all it cost...

(for those of you who don't know, robert sold plasma for several months so we could get simon his saab and complete the family. this photo was taken maybe a week after his first donation. i also had a similar bruise. i donated twice, and the first time they infiltrated my vein. for robert, he thinks he just took the bandage off of his arm too early. he ended up bleeding out, and then ended up with this.)

I've been waiting for these pics!! I love it. I didn't realize that plasma was the source of the saab's funding...way to stick through it (no pun intended :))

Whoa. Fun story, not so fun bruise. I don't think I'll ever donate plasma now...;)

Talk about sacrifice-wow! I wish we got paid to donate here in Canada. I'd have a nicer wardrobe for sure! The set of Papa, Mama and Baby Saab's look great!

Hahaha! You guys are crazy cool. I didn't know you already had 2 Saabs.

How fun for you guys to have a saab for simon as well! I am sure he LOVES it! That is great, but AWEFUL bruise! I tried to donate blood once when I lived in Florida and I passed out....so no donating plasma for me!

Awesome shots lynda, they look great!

As soon as I saw the first picture I thought, "hooray! they've been wanting that since Christmas!" Sorry to hear it cost bruising, though!

Simon is growing up oh so fast now. Don't worry, Kaelah had 2 birthday parties when she turned one & yes, she's spoiled, but not ruined... yet. Loved the cakes.

I would love to see you in Utah but with Dan's parents being home from their mission to Argentina I don't think we are going to be anywhere but with family. Maybe if the trip was longer! I'll be out again for a friend's wedding in October & will have more freedom then. (:
