How middle-aged are we?


We've been meaning to post this for a while...but the newest light of our life is the 2002 Ford Windstar that we now own and LOVE! Seriously, who knew that they made cars with so many perks these days? Power locks that can operate from a keychain! Rear-controlled air-conditioning! (Mali loves pointing at it.)CD player! A clock that works! And space...so much space. Plenty of room for growing toddlers, bellies, and car seats.

And yes, we've heard all of the Ford jokes and don't believe them at all. (We actually were really impressed with the Consumer Reports recommendations for our van). We've decided that FORD really stands for First On Race Day, which works out well as it seems like we're on our way to becoming a stereotypical Soccer Mom and NASCAR Dad.

Whoa. A mini-van. This is serious, guys.

Sorry, I just have to get technical here... The term "middle-age" usually refers to your forties and fifties, a time in your life when you would most likely NOT be carting around toddlers and pregnant bellies, but apathetic teenagers and melodramatic tweens instead, and longing for a much hotter, younger car. Feel free to keep the minivan, though, it may just be your last hope for sanity. (Unless, of course, it is breaking down constantly like all Fords eventually do. Then go ahead and spring for the Porsche. ;)

Just had to clear the air with that oh-so-optimistic peek into your "middle-age" future.

Congratulations on the mini-van! I, for one, consider you to be very cool now.

Love it! I still like my jetta, but can definitely enjoy a comfortable van ride as well. I think of you all often and hope you're doing well and not too uncomfortable in the heat! Hope the last days of the pregnancy are going well.
