Never say never...

Okay, okay. I hear ya. If I said it once I said it 100 times, "I will never buy a mini van." I mean why not just get a big SUV? It is hard for Chris and I to believe that we went from our beloved Audi TT to a minivan. But we now have 3 kids and SUV's just are not ideal for a family of 3. Either 3 kids sit in a row (and therefore we may as well keep them in the Camry), or one kiddo has to climb over seats to get to their seat in the back or get in through the trunk. None of those options are ideal.

So, as of today, we are the owners of a minivan. (see pics of our new ride :) ). Yikes! And, Chris and I can do anything now that we were able to negotiate a car all online and take our 3 kids ages 4 and under 1 hour away to purchase the car (that is where we could find the best price). After the experience, however, I am on a hunt for a reliable babysitter! Seriously, parents should not have the endure the stress of buying a car & writing ONE BIG CHECK (oh, that is the most painful part) with 3 crying kiddos, too! Oh, what we do for the love of our kids. Happy traveling...
