So long minivan...

We traded in our minivan this weekend. We just got a new (well, new to us) 2006 GMC Envoy. I love it! It still has a full 3rd row seat, but I feel a little cooler pulling into the high school with an suv than a minivan. (I thought I would have outgrown those insecurities :) The kids love the new flip down dvd player with wireless headsets. I'm happy we don't have to drive the minivan to Disney for fall break. The dealer said our transmission was ready to go on the van. I think we got out just in time. I also do not miss our Ohio van. It had rust starting to bubble up under the paint. We stood out like a sore thumb because cars down south do not rust. Crazy!

Happy 7th Birthday Ethan!

Chris keeps saying, "Can you believe we have a 7 year old?" It seems crazy. I do not feel old enough. We decided to have Ethan's party at the local YMCA Teen Center. It was awesome. They had a Wii, PlayStation, and several other video game systems. The boys played pool, ping pong, and basketball in the gym. We invited his regular season baseball team, his allstar team, and his cousins. I think everyone had a great time. Of course, the theme was baseball.
