Time for a new model???

First, I should introduce the models we already own. This first one is a male, and we call him 'Andy'. He was produced in 1979 and is, by far, the oldest model in our family.

As the oldest male in the family, it is his job to provide us with food, shelter, transportation, and money. He also takes care of the yard during the spring and fall, and the driveway and sidewalks during the winter.

Everyone hears about the 'jack-of-all-trades' that some family's are lucky enough to accuire, but our model didn't come with the right accessories to fulfill this sterotype. (We were told that home depot or lowes had inexpensive ones, so we went there and picked them up). Now, with his new accessories, Andy has been able to rebuild our porch, semi-finish our basement, and do small jobs around the house. (well worth the extra money).

And occassionally, this one will even help out with the younger, more newer models in our home.

The next model is a female we call 'Molly'. She's a little aged as well, being processed in the early 1980's. This one is especially cool because it's practically like a baby maker. And she even comes equipped with her own milk for once a baby is born.

Molly is pretty much the caregiver in the family. She takes care of everyone else, while holding the house together. She cooks, cleans, does laundry AND dishes, and looks after the little ones. Some people would call these models a 'SUPER-MOM', but that's only because not anyone can do what she does, and do it with a smile.

We got pretty lucky with Molly. You see, most models have hardware malfunctions thru-out there time here on earth. For example, a few years ago we had to replace Andys' memory board because he kept thinking that pee went ON the toilet, and not in the toilet. I even remember one time we almost got lost because Andy wouldn't stop and ask for directions. (His jump drive was corrupt). And then there was a period of time where he would make these loud obnoxious sounds with his mouth when he was supposed to be sleeping. Do you know how expensive it is to replace the 'snore' application?!? But, Molly has been perfect all along...

The next model in our family is rather new, being proccessed in the middle of 2005. This one is the second male in our family, but he won't be taking on the 'fatherly' roll until he's seasoned. We call him 'Conner'.

Right now he just enjoys getting used to life.

He does do a lot of artwork, plays in the yard and even goes to 'school' a couple days a week. School is where other models, his same age go, to interact with one another, teach each other bad words, and then are sent home for the parents to clean up the mess! All in all, we're glad to have him in our life.

The newest version we currently have is a 2008. She's a female, and so far, doesn't do a whole lot. She poops, spits-up, crys and sleeps all day long.

We call her 'Addie'.

... So Basically, we have what most would describe as a million-dollar family. One dad, one mom, one son and one daughter. But we're not sure we want to leave it at that. Andy's been looking at the models coming out in 2010 and he's said that they've got some pretty cool features, (mostly dealing with taxes). And so we're tyring to decide if this would be a good time to start planning for a new model or not. We have to plan now because, as most of you know, it takes 9 months of prepration once the decision is finalized. So that's where we're at, just tyring to decide what's right.
