Our new baby...

Last Wednesday, we bit the bullet and finally bought a minivan.  We had been talking about it for years, and SERIOUSLY considering it for the past few weeks.  Being a one car family has been tough, especially as the kids have gotten older and don't always want to be stuck at home.  I also have them signed up for swimming lessons when school is out.  That would have been a big ol' pain in the rear to take Kelly to work every morning in order to have the car. Plus, with gas at already over 4 bucks a gallon Super Angry, taking Kelly to work whenever I need the car is kind of crazy.  What kind did we get?  We ended up with a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan.  Yes, that is correct... 2008.  It had a whole whoppin 26 miles on it when Kelly drove it off the lot.  (Rebates and holiday weekend specials are GREAT)  It may not be souped up with extra features, but it's just what we need, right down to the stain-resistant seats.  Oh, and it has the Stow-n-Go seating on the 2nd and 3rd rows, something that I HAD to have.

Alright!  I think you guys are going to love it, if you don't already.  I don't know how you lasted as long as you did with one car and three kids!  Hope the swimming lessons go well for the kiddos.

Love the new 'baby'!  I can't imagine juggling one car and three kids, along with getting Kelly to work.  I hope you guys are enjoying it.  How is it handling the nasty gas prices?  I think you guys are about .25 more than us.  My mom, aunt, and I are going to be heading your way in a week or so.  If I get a chance, maybe I'll swing by for a visit.  :)

Carrie, that's Awesome! I love it, and you guys totally deserve it. I can't believe you've stretched out this long with one car and 3 KIDS! It must feel like heaven to have all that extra space now. Congratulations it looks really, really nice!
