Our old van (the '98 Dodge Caravan that my parents bought when Kevin was born and then gave to us when we got married) bit the dust back in December... threw a rod on the freeway and came to a lovely grinding halt, which was great fun. We've been saving money and waiting until after Nora was born to buy a car (so we could get hospital bills out of the way). I researched like crazy and we finally got a loan and bought a car at the end of April. We ended up with a 2005 Honda Odyssey, and we LOVE it. It's in great condition and we couldn't be happier. Though we're grateful to my grandparents for letting us borrow their little Honda Accord for a couple months while we saved money, we are SO glad to be back in a minivan. This is the first loan/big purchase we've made in our marriage, and we're pretty proud of how well everything worked out. Here are some pics of our new car:

| Automatic sliding doors... LOVE. Our old car had carseats built into the middle seat, so we also had to get Owen a new carseat. This one transitions into two other carseats, so it's the only one he'll need from here on out. It's like a spaceship... and he loves it. :) |

| LOVE the seats that fold down in the back... in our old van we had to haul the seats out if we wanted more storage room. |
