New Ride

With another car seat going in our cars, the reintroduction of the stroller and other baby gear into our lives, and lots of friends, family and a dog who that like to hang out together, it made sense for us to keep our eyes out for a used vehicle with a little more room. Mike diligently combed the internet sites of many of the local Ford dealers and he happened up on this:

Mike went to look at it right after working all night and managed to seal the deal on this pretty red can at 6 pm in the evening. Though he was beyond tired, he handled things very well and got us into a better suited ride for our growing family that fit with in our single income budget.

Mackenzie wasn't very sure about the van at all. She cried when we told her about it and even when we put her in her car seat inside. Tears streamed down her face as she talked about how much she was going to miss our old car. Before long, though, she warmed up to the idea. I think it was around the time she figured she could walk from the front of the van to the very back row of seating . When she found the third row cup holders she proclaimed " This van is BRILLIANT!" Before we could even reach the highway heading home , she had already delegated her baby brother to sit in the back seat so she could be sure to have room for all her toys in the front.

Did you tell her she has to be in the backseat so you can reach her little brother when he comes?!?! Enjoy the roominess of the van. That is the one bonus about them.

We are officially uncool, lol. Never thought I'd see the day we'd become van driving soccer moms (okay so the kids don't play soccer yet, but it's only a matter of time!)

I remember the days of pink cars, workin' it in your car (wow that sounds sooo much worse then it is), my truck, and the suburban.

Wonder how many weird looks we'd get calling guys Kevin now.....
