Saying our Goodbyes

Stephen kept asking when our car was coming home, and if it felt better yet...

No hun, our baby car is not coming home...

Stephen tried to hold back the tears when he reminded me he wanted to turn the car into a race car when he turned 16.

Skyler looked at the pictures of the car and said, "mine car." He just didn't quite understand that it was to badly crashed to ever come home... I wanted to cry too... my little car was my favorite in the world.

I decided that we would go visit our car one last time... the insurance company wanted us to remove the licence plates anyway. Maybe seeing the car in person, they would see it would be too hard to fix.

Stephen removed the licence plate from the front bumper while Skyler tried to fix the car...he took a toy screwdriver out to the towing yard. Cody was a good sport.

Skyler removed the licence plate from the back bumper.

The boys wanted just one last "drive" in our baby car.

We quickly fell in love with our rental truck...the only vehicle that the company had that they were sure 3 car seats would fit in the back.

My boys didn't want to give up "their" truck.

Well, we need to get some pictures...but that will come soon! We got our MINIVAN!!! Our prayers have been answered, We have had it for a while, (a few weeks) but I am still very excited about it. The kids have so much room!

We have also been blessed with a car (borrowing a car from my parents). Stephen can get to work, and I can take kids to school, and we are not rushing to get everyone everywhere all at the same time!
