Out with the Old...


{toyota corolla...}

and in with the NEW!


{toyota sienna}
on saturday we went to go look at an SUV or something for the impending arrival of baby #3 (who is still nameless...). after about 10 minutes talking with a really nice manager lady at Big 2 Toyota in chandler kendall was convinced an SUV would probably not be the easiest thing to manuever three car seats in and still have cargo space for stroller etc. so we started looking at vans and came across this beauty. it's an 06 with 40K miles on it or something..real low. they gave us a really good deal, ergo why we did it now instead of later, which was my original inclination. the siennas have great crash test ratings and are really good vans (according to a million reviews i read from people and independent companies). hopefully we love it.
i am officially a "van mom" yay!

Now we're twins!! Yay, I love my Toyota Sienna. You made the right choice. I did tons and tons and tons of research. Oh and I'm never wrong, there's that too.

Finally catching up on some blog-reading... Looks like we have "matching" families--we have a boy, girl and a boy on the way (due December). Ours are spaced out 3 years, though. We're in a lot of the same boat--bought a new mini-van (a Town N' Country--love it!! But we also really wanted to look at a Sienna b/c of all the reviews). We also had to decide on the bed situation--we opted for bunkbeds that can be separated b/c my oldest is 5 and our little girl was already in a toddler bed. Fun, fun...hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well. Fun to read about your family!
