You've been asking for it, and we've been listening. I'm proud to announce today that the Choo Choo Wagon is making a comeback. We've started preselling it here, and the orders are pouring in!

If you've never heard of the Choo Choo Wagon, it's an expandable wagon that starts with two cars and can accept up to three additional trailers! This means you can easily haul twins, triplets, or more, and still have room for their "stuff". Even better, the ride is a lot more peaceful with each one in their own private car.

This wagon will be available while supplies last only from Step2.com.

Enjoy!

As I write, we are in the process of launching a new Step2.com. (Or, as I fondly refer to it, Step2.0) We've added some new features, improved others, and are in the process of adding even more.

You'll find the following (in no particular order):

• A search box on every page
• A new help center
• The ability to create and send wish lists
• Better search functionality
• Easy navigation on every page
• A more effective Store Locator
• A new look and feel
• Better use of your screen space

Once again, we're looking for ways to serve you better, and hopefully you'll find that navigating our site is infinitely easier than before. Also, while we still offer exceptional phone support, you'll also find that with an online help center you can now get service 24/7.

We're pretty confident that we've worked out all of the bugs, but we won't discount Murphy's Law. If you run into anything that looks like it's not working right, please let us know by using our "Contact Step2" form, or by emailing .

Thanks for all your help, and for your continued patronage of Step2!

I received an e-mail forward the other day, but before my mouse could make it to the "delete" button, I noticed what it was about. Xerox is sponsoring a program where you can go online, fill out a few forms, and they'll send a postcard to an American soldier in Iraq. (Yeah, an actually true, legitimate email forward!)

It's free and it take less than a minute, so I went and sent one. I wanted to spread the news about the program as well, because no matter how you feel about the war, these men and women are over there serving their country because they believe in the freedom and the rights of individuals that our country stands for.

Our Armed Forces are an all-volunteer army (no conscription), so please go say thanks to those who would risk life and limb to defend our freedom, and the rights of others.
