#5 the school bus


one reason we drove out to utah was to buy a lift van! the van has been a wonderful blessing. it has good pick-up speed, gets better gas mileage than our mini-van did, amazing head clearance and even seat warmers (which i did appreciate this past week when the weather was really cold) in addition to that absolutely wonderful, amazing, save my aching back lift. when we were in utah, one of my nephews kept referring to our van as the school bus. we took a drive through the canyons with the youngest hinckley grandchildren (minus mallory and baby jane). i just love this pic (courtesy of ann) of everyone ready for the drive. when we got back home to connecticut, the back seat came out and we put in straps to secure the wheelchair.

I love your Jon and Kate plus 8 van! I love that you have seat warmers even more!

Oh cool, I had not seen the inside of your van! I figured it probably looked regular, but all those individual seats, and SEAT WARMERS are awesome!

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
