Embracing Parenthood

The day Addison was born was a momentous day. Jeff and I became parents 100%. What have we been doing with the other two kids for the last 9 and a half years? On that St. Patrick's Day a month ago a change occured in our family. We let go of something that was hindering our parental progress.

Jeff decided to sell this:

Seriously, after two days of driving a minivan, we both said "Why did we wait so long?" It's difficult for me to realize that I'm not a hot chick in a cool car anymore, but I'm adjusting.

I'm in heaven and everyone is comfy and safe.

Yes we've embraced parenthood 100%. Wouldn't you say?
