New Belly pics and pics of Savannah

I am getting so big and Savannah is too! I don't take near as many pictures as I used to, but we took some the other day that I thought I would post. Savannah and Nicholas are both getting really excited about the baby. Savannah is constantly wanting to cuddle with me and hug and kiss my belly and also talk to Tabitha. She says "Hi Tabitha, this is your sister. I love you." It is so cute and sweet! I look big already, but I still have a lot of growing to do. Fortunately I am not gaining near as much weight as I did with Savannah. I have only gained about 9 pounds which isn't too bad. Here are the pics!

Minivan Mom

Yes, after many years of saying "I will never drive a minivan," I have broken down and decided to get one. It just makes so much sense with three kids. I don't really know why I felt that way. I guess I thought that would mean I was growing up and becoming my mom. Well, what's wrong with that? I am very proud now to say that I have "become my mother." She was a wonderful mom and I love it that I am becoming more and more like her. She didn't really have a minivan until after I left home for college, but she loved that thing. At the time I thought it was so dorky. Well I do have to say that minivans have come along way, but they have always been roomy and functional, and I am so glad we got one! I love pushing a button to open the sliding doors for the kids and not having to worry about them dinging the cars next to us. I love that there are a million cupholders, lots of room for everyone to ride and move around, a DVD player w/ wireless headphones and a remote that the kids can operate on their own, and plenty of cargo room for all or our luggage when we go on trips. What was I thinking all those years? For those of you that say you will never drive one- Never say never!
We got a 2005 Saturn Relay and it is sporty yet functional. Here are a few pics.
