1 Week Anniversary

M & J will return soon but in the meantime, we thought we'd celebrate our 1 week anniversary with Minnie (still working on the name) with some of our favorite features. Aunt JCM--these are for you!


THE COLOR...Blue Mirage Metallic!



THE SPACE...The trunk has already become an extension of our basement, including JC's present underneath the sheet (come back in May for the reveal!) You can barely see the front of the car--Big J can finally stretch his legs out during all of our long car trips.

THE CUPHOLDERS...I think we have more than 10 cupholders. It's a little ridiculous but now when J drops his cup, we can just pull out another. This is also the perfect shelf for the portable DVD player--no more jury-rigging with an old tie. And while you can't see it, I also love the plug-in for my ipod.


THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIRS...No more hitting each other or arm pulling.



THE ELECTRONIC WINDOWS/DOORS...Now we can roll down the road with the Avett Brothers blaring for the world to hear! How often will we really need to have the windows down for the kids? Not often, but who cares because what's important is that I can. We also love the power-sliding door. M says "Look mom--it's magic. Our van know's we're coming!" Yep!

I have been thinking about this for awhile. I think you should name the car after the guy who sold it to you, I can't remember his name. Or you can call it "Meet the Numbers!"

Love, Aunt JU-LA

Will a car trip still be a car trip if there is no inappropriate sibling interaction? Is it a car trip if passengers actually have a place to put their feet and there is space for luggage? I just don't know. When I was a kid it wasn't a car trip unless everyone was uncomfortable. Next you'll say that there are actual bathroom breaks.
Love. Gram

Livin' the dream baby! Livin' the DREAM!! Thanks for the pics-love the middle windows that roll down. didn't even know that was an option. and as my children fight the door in the haste of the carpool lane, they are jealous of the auto doors. me too.
Jealous in a good way of course!!
so happy for you guys.
