i gave in.

after many years of "i will never drive a mini-van," i have given in. obviously i was ignorant to the possibilities of a magic car (as kate calls it) when i made that statement in high school and beyond. my four little chicklin's pile in one after another with room to spare. i can go to the grocery store and have a stroller in the car, and the days of "car-dooring" everyone we park next to are over.

yes, i have swallowed some pride; yes, it will take me a couple weeks to get used to; yes, i am loving the "magic doors." BUT, whatever my reservations may have been, it is now final, i am the official newest member of the "mini-van club." (thank you allison for the induction)
