As I had mentioned before, Howie was in a car accident two weeks ago. His car was deemed "a total loss". Being the sweet man that he is, he willingly took our 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon for himself. We bouught this car last December when the lease was up on our 2004 Honda Odyssey. I LOVED my Odyssey. But, gas prices were out of control this time last year, with no end in sight. So, being the practical minded people that we (err, he) is (are) we purchased the Subaru.
I've complained loudly. I've complained often. Rotten of me, I know. But think about it, we went from two (including Nicki) children and a van to three children and a car. It was sooo crowded in that car! Poor Nicki had to ride back there with two car seats for 10 hours on our way home from Indiana. Anyway, I digress.
Thanks to my wonderful husband (and a lady in an out of control SUV on an icy road one Monday morning) we picked up my very new, very own 2008 Honda Odyssey on Saturday!!!
There were MAJOR incentives on the 08 models. The only one they had left in stock has a DVD and Navigation system! Holy cow?!?!? Do I really own this luxury vehicle?? It's a long way from my very first car- a 1985 Ford Escort (purchased in 1994).
Also, we had to replace car seats because of the accident. Got Gabi a cute new booster and I took this opportunity to purchase Ellie's first big girl car seat. She has all but outgrown the infant carrier, and at 9 months and 21 pounds it's breaking my back to carry her in it!!!
Sooooo here are some stock photos of our new "stuff".......
