Two new things




Just call me a soccer mom (guess really a T-ball mom though) because we traded the Envoy in today for a Honda Odyssey (mini van). Never in a million, trillion years would I ever have pictured myself driving a mini van. That is until Theodus James (my new nickname for Theo) joined our family. Lugging around 33 lbs, plus bags, plus opening doors for Jack was just too much. My van has "magic doors" and I'm already in love. I'm sure this is making some of you gag. Haters!!!

You may also notice that this picture was taken in the garage. Yes, I park in the garage now. Right next to the Bronco, but there is plenty of room for me to park, get out and unload stuff. Very handy in the monsoon weather we've had recently.

never ever would I have thought I would be jealous over a MINIVAN! But I am!! It would be so much easier putting kids in carseats in the garage and parking lots w/o worrying about doors sticking out and smacking cars. (and for a minute I was thinking Theo's real name is Theodus - and how the hell did I not know THAT - SOL - then I kept reading and realized I am not losing my mind).

I'm with you. I never EVER thought I would be driving a minivan, but I do. It's so much easier that I don't even care about image anymore. Plus, inside it's the nicest car I've ever had. I wish everyone could see the inside when I'm driving around feeling like a mom!!!
