The new car

At the beginning of September we learned that our current car (a 2000 Ford Taurus Wagon) was going to need to be replaced by next April, when it would no longer pass inspection due to a rusting frame. Papa Bear wasted no time beginning the search and we quickly found pretty much exactly what we were looking for. Without going into all the details, the kids wanted a red minivan, we wanted something that would be reliable and fit our budget, and we found a super 2003 Honda Odyssey in a private sale, in red no less, with the very bells and whistles we desired that was in super shape, and it even fit the budget. Go God! What a gift. For now we'll keep the old car and live with two vehicles until it costs us money to keep it (other than gas) or the inspection expires. The driveway feels crowded! Despite the convenience (temporarily), I think we'll be glad to be back to one car after all's said and done. Here are a few pictures of our new wheels for your viewing pleasure.
