I think I must be a real Mom now

So with the upcoming arrival of our second baby girl, Malone and I decided we needed a bigger vehicle. We finished paying off our car not too long ago, and we enjoyed not having a car payment for a little while. But we just didn't see how we would be able to do the traveling we plan to do this summer in our little car. When we took Baby K to Illinois and Florida a couple of years ago we were crammed to the gills. This summer we plan on going to Illinois again and we just did not want to make that trip with our girls surrounded to the ceiling with all our stuff. Of course, we knew a bigger vehicle would also be extremely handy for day to day things like grocery shopping and if we need to haul anything.

With that decision in mind, we set out to look for a... minivan. (Dun dun dun!!!) I know, it's not very cool. But, in all honesty I almost completely quit caring about what was "cool" after I got married.

Well, after much searching, we found a minivan we fell in love with! It's used so of course it has a few flaws, but at least with this minivan they are all cosmetic. Plus, it came with a lot of perks that we really like. It is a Honda Odyssey. It has a sun roof, heated leather seats, stow and go seating, room for 8 passengers, automatic doors, and a dvd player amongst other things. We were even able to talk the sellers down on the price by a bit so we really got a great deal! And with our payment schedule and the amount we were able to put down, we should be able to have it paid off next Spring. Woohoo!

Anyway, here's a picture of our new van. We have had it for a few weeks now and we just love it. Plus, it's an exciting step to getting ready for the new baby.
