Oh yes we did!

Add this to the list of the other 100 things I said I would never do when I became a parent.  I have to admit, I was way more excited about the minivan purchase than I thought I would be.  I guess I had come to a breaking point with cramming the car seats and kids in the back seat of our Explorer and not having room for other folks.  I'm in love with the new ride!  Funny note, we bought this late Saturday night and drove it to church the next morning.  We had a hard time finding it in the parking lot and we confidently approached another van.  We tried to unlock it but it didn't work.  Dan started worrying that he hadn't noticed a dent in the front bumper and hadn't done his due diligence and I was concerned because the color seemed more blue than it had the day before (nothing wrong with the color blue but I was worried that the picture in my mind of our new car was failing me).  Thank goodness we were just at the wrong van and we were just a few cars down.  It's one of those moments that probably took a few seconds but it was embarrassing nonetheless.

Saying good-bye to the old sportier friend but thankful for the fun memories.

Saying hello to the new family ride and looking forward to our next road trip.  Well, I guess I'm looking forward to it as much as you can with two little ones who'd rather be playing and jumping around the car than riding.  :-)
