new car

I have wanted to post for a bit but haven't had my pictures uploaded. So instead of waiting any longer here goes...
We bought a new car that will fit our family with the upcoming addition. It is a 12 passenger van. Jeff was not sure if he wanted to go that big. I just didn't want it to be white. I have been tired of not being able to have the boys bring a friend anywhere or car pool. We ended up finding a silver 2010 Ford 350. I think the reason Jeff was okay with the van was thanks to Mike and Danielle. Thanks you guys-- you really helped me out.

The boys love it. The first night we took a drive Oliver commented, "I get a whole bench to myself." However, when he saw a slug bug and tried to punch one of his brothers, he couldn't reach. "Oh no, it's too big." he cried. I had to laugh.

I am liking the van. Driving it hasn't been bad either. I don't find it too much different than my parents past Suburbans or Excursion. I just can't wait until the running boards come in. I have to pull myself in right now.

Anyway when Jeff gets back in town (gone for 10 days to Chicago to take boards), I will get pictures up.

  1. Lou wanted to get one of these sooo bad last summer, but I convinced him that it was a BIT overkill for only three kids. ;) But for your family, yeah, it is a NEED! Congrats!!

  2. Sounds like lots of fun. Our friends have a 12-seater van and love it too! (They also have 6 kids). I totally agree about needing extra space for carpool & friends. Smart thinking! Sure miss you guys. We have to get together soon.
