the last week has been TOUGH.

One of our cars was stolen out of our driveway on the Wednesday the 12th, in the early A.M. from our driveway. We were all very shocked about it and of course felt every violated. We of course called the cops and had a report done and made a claim for our insurance. Thankfully we had full coverage and they will give us a rental car for 30 days, so that is a life saver because having one car is not easy. Alex's car seat and diaper bag was in the car too, so we needed to replace those things.

On Friday, like we needed more stress, Joe got a call from the bank saying someone was trying to use his social security number to transfer money to Western Union in Anaheim. The bank thankfully asked more questions and the guy could not answer them so they did not approve the transfer. Joe had some personal documents in the car for work and that is where the guy got the information. So.. we once again call the cops and get another report for attempted fraud and identity theft and call the SS office and the bank and have them put fraud alerts on everything.

Anyway, its been a long week. I hope they find the car, but I hope more that they find the sick person/people that stole it. I would hate for them to get away with it and do it again to someone else. :(

We were bummed but we are thankful that we are safe, it was just a material item, and though its not very fun, it can be replaced. We are just going to continue to count our blessings and remember that tomorrow is a new day. In a few months this will be just another bump in the road.

And totally off topic! I WANT SOME FALL/WINTER WEATHER!!!! I am so sick of the sun right now.. ugh!!!

see you all soon.

Wow! I am so sorry about your car and everything! That really sucks. I can imagine how violated you feel. I hope it all works out. Does your insurance cover the carseat and other stuff that was in there? I'm so glad you have a blog. I didn't realize you had one, it will be good to keep up to date on you guys. Alex was an adorable little pumpkin and devil. I'll post a few pics from Halloween. -- Where did you get your background? I want something cute :) Miss and love you guys!
