No Longer a One Car Family

Last weekend we went out looking for a minivan and found one and bought it! Hurray for having my own car again. :) We got a silver 2006 Kia Sedona and I love it. Originally we test drove a 2008 Sedona because that's what they had out at the lot and it was nice and all that we wanted except for the price tag and we told them so and it turned out that the day before they had traded in a 2006 that was practically identical to the 2008, color included, except for the miles and the price and the tires. Since they had traded it in the day before they hadn't had a chance to detail it yet, so they did it on Monday and delivered it to our house (I liked that better anyways).

It is so much fun to drive and we're getting excited about all the stuff that we can haul around in it. For example Andrew is going to build more planter boxes in our backyard and we can now fit more bricks and supplies without crowding the backseat of our car.

I think Peter likes riding in the van better than riding in the Altima because he's up higher and can see out the windows better. It's a lot easier to put him in and out of the car and it's also a lot easier to feed him and change his diaper when we're out running errands.

Funny story... We back our cars into our driveway and the first time that I parked the van with the Altima in the driveway already I came really close to hitting the solar powered lights we set up.

I mean REALLY close

I stopped here without getting out and looking.

That's crazy close.
