YAY...finally

Well, one of our MUCH needed "baby" things can be checked off the list....

This is sitting in my driveway where my "I can not fit another child into this vehicle" Jeep used to sit.

I am SOOOO excited about it  :)  We've been looking for a van for quite some time & just could not find what we really wanted, and were also having some trouble getting much for our Jeep (which was FULLY loaded and in GREAT  condition) because of it's high mileage.  Well, last night we found a small car lot that wanted the Jeep so we had to pick up a rental car to get us by until we found something else.  At the lot that has the rentals we saw this, and it just looked like ME  :)   I am a casual, easy going person & I felt like this van was too.  Simple, yet loaded with enough extras, and not over the top priced...YAY! 

My fave thing has to be the automatic doors, paired with the fact that ALL of my kiddos (even little Zander) can climb in alone!!  I can not even tell you how hard it was getting to lift him into the Jeep, and his carseat was in the middle of the seat, and sometimes Ellie needed a boost, and my belly would rub against her carseat when I reached over it to get Z into his seat...UGH!  Things are SO much easier now, I just LOVE it.

Okay, dinner time here, I just had to share my excitement first:)

Audrey and I were hit Labor Day weekend in our Suburban so I had a minivan rental for nearly a month. I swore I'd never be a minivan mama, but I tell you, lifting the infant carrier in and out was a piece of cake, and the joy at having the big ones climb in and out themselves was heavenly! The ONLY downside was playing airplane -- a little too much access to the driver's seat! LOL I'd get in and never know what was going to be turned on or off. The Suburban's back, and I'm glad, but know my SUV days are coming to an end...

Hope you're well...can't believe my baby is 13 weeks and you're nearly due! Wasn't it yesterday our July kids were born?

So, what kind is it? We've been attempting #3 with no luck for more than a year, but we're not giving up yet. We just had to trade off our Dodge Caravan Sport because it didn't have enough power to pull the boat...one of those important things to keep hubby happy.

I'm so happy for you Angi, and I keep checking to see the announcement!
