the newest member of our family – Sally!
And you thought we were gonna show you pictures of a baby. HA! So here’s a little history: Right before we moved to CO Ryan’s car died. It wasn’t worth fixing, so we towed it to a salvage yard and got $100 for the title. Big money! Once we moved here Ryan, known for having an eye for what’s in style (what?!?) bought us a green 1995 Ford Taurus wagon.
At first we called it The Carp. It’s a big, ugly, fish-looking beast, don’t you think? Then the Cars movie came out, and D&B renamed it Ramone. Still a fitting title, as we have never seen anyone else of our “ethnic background” drive a Taurus wagon. It was what we could afford at the time, and Ramone served us well for 3.5 years. But with our ever-expanding family we faced the reality that three car seats didn’t fit inside Ramone. So Adios Ramone! Now, ZOOM ZOOM!
It was only fitting for Ryan to buy a 2002 Mazda MPV minivan, because Drew is already in season two of his illustrious soccer career, yet Amy was still not a member of the notorious Soccer Mom’s Club. Please don’t ask about the secret handshake…
Sally is by far the newest, fanciest car we have ever owned. Keyless entry is a new thing for us. Up the cool ladder we go! baby steps…
The kids had a great time pampering Sally. She got the full spa treatment.
And to think we hired these two yahoos off the back porch! Payment was easy! Social Services is gonna come any day now and haul us away for slave labor…
Lol, you are so cute! I always love your narration. Congratulations on the new car! It is always fun to get new big things- just not always the payment that goes along 🙂
Awesome photos! that one of sally looks like an advertisement!
So when did you get a new car? and how did i not hear about it? So you are officially a minivan mom!
