Here it is, friends--the newest addition to our family:

So far, he/she has been good to us. We love our new car!

Soon it will be time to say farewell to the Contour, the car that my parents gave us as one of the most generous and selfless gifts I've ever received; the car that was "decorated" with Oreo cookies and Mardi Gras beads on our wedding day; the car that cost us a fortune in parking fees during our honeymoon in Chicago; the car that will always come to mind when we recall our days of tooling around Vancouver and driving cross-country with a new baby; and, unfortunately, the car that couldn't pass the emissions test.

This week the Contour will be leaving our family for good. Tomorrow morning, I'll get behind the wheel for one last road trip. Charlie will be in the backseat, pointing at every semi truck and animal we pass for the next 700 miles. We'll hang out in Kansas for a week, then fly back home, leaving the Contour behind.

Sniff.

Well the new CR-V looks great but it's sad to say goodbye to a car with memories...that's how I felt with our wagon. But enjoy the trip back to Kansas...that sounds great! Enjoy!

The CR-V looks awesome. So shiny and silvery!!

Adrianna asks us almost every day, "Where's our van?" And every day we try to patiently give her the same answer, "It is in Kansas." Then comes the "Why?" And on and on it goes. She told me she misses riding in it. At least these particular questions seem to be getting a little less frequent as time goes by. Only to be replaced by some new questions like, "When can we go to Tiny Town again?"
