Oh no we didn't!... Oh, wait, yes we DID!

Jake and I have spent much of the last four years trying to decide when would be the right time to buy a quality family style vehicle. A big part of the when discussion also included what kind of vehicle that would be... a van, a crossover, a SUV??? Well, after finding a rather fabulous deal on a power package loaded new 2008 model that the dealer was trying to clear out so he could bring in the 2009s for sale, Jake and I purchased a............................ Nissan Quest VAN!!! Shocker, I know. On the one hand it is totally beautiful and drives so smoothly. But, on the other hand, oh my gosh, it is a van. Did we just buy a van? Really? In any case, it makes me feel very motherly which I am guessing is good since I am one! :-)

So, here are a few pictures of our third child taken from her new home in our garage. I might replace these with some better pics when I have the chance. Get used to her because she is going to be a part of our family for many years to come!

Very nice!! I know so many moms who once vowed to never drive a minivan but love their vans once they take the plunge. I just don't think I'll ever have the courage to take the plunge. :)

Soooo, would it be reasonable to assume that there is a number 3 on the way??? :-)

Whitney said...

No number 3 for now though I am not totally opposed to the idea. I'll send you guys an email to fill you in a bit more on that topic... some things have come up lately.
