Yet another step in preparing for Baby D! We've bought a minivan. Oh, yes, we bought a minivan. So I guess that seals it: we've got the house, the dog, and now the minivan. It's the American dream!
We've been considering another vehicle for a year or so now, and the necessity of it has grown as we're anticipating having Baby D, and myself looking at other jobs that would require some driving. We knew we wanted a minivan or small SUV. Our good friend Rich Perrine runs an import car dealership in town, and we asked him to keep an eye out for Honda Odysseys, Toyota Siennas, or Chrysler Town & Countries. He e-mailed about a week ago, saying he had a couple that would be perfect! So yesterday morning we went in and signed for it.
The stats: a 2003 Toyota Sienna CE. Five-door wagon. Gold. Cloth interior. 59,000 miles. The Sienna is the top-rated minivan by Consumer Reports, and they're known to run for up to 200,000 miles. The previous owner took very good care of it, and Rich had it serviced completely before he turned it over to us. So we hope that this one will last us a while!
We'll let you know when we come up with a name for it.

Where are you looking for another job? Definitely not moving away right??
No, no, not moving - just looking at colleges in the area, something farther than a bus-ride away. I have an application out to Kenyon College at the moment.
Nice ride! Can't go wrong with a Toyota!
Ok, I bought my own washer and drying the other day and felt really grown up...but you guys win.
