Thanks to the misadventure of a Mustang and a Semi (and a very generous insurance payout), Danny has the new baby he's been dreaming of for several years. Though he had to juggle rental cars (also covered by insurance!) for two months, he was able to order the Mini exactly as he wanted - even track it's "birth" online (gag me)- and finally picked it up last week. It's not the most practical of family vehicles, but I can count on two hands the number of times we had children in the Mustang over the past 6 years, and I just think of it as a very safe motorcycle. All in all, he is thrilled, and I have to admit that it's a pretty fun ride! Sunday night we went on a driving/dinner date up and through the mountains and canyons around our home. Believe it or not, we actually stayed out past 8pm, crazy partiers that we are! The kids have taken their own relatively tame rides with Daddy and Parker was especially impressed. He couldn't quite understand why Dad would want a "Minnie Cooper", however, and declared that when he grows up he wants to drive a "Mickey Cooper"!

I love it! But please don't tell my husband as that is his dream car, too. ;)
Interesting about the lakes...I had no idea. I guess you really do learn something new everyday.
Fantastic! I love the car!
When Dan went to the dealer were they all out of men's cars?

Hey Laura! Yes, the new gadget is super cool and I love it. Just be careful if you ever change your blog template (I know yours was custom, so maybe it won't be a problem). When I changed my template a few weeks ago, for some reason all the links via that gadget were lost and I've had to try and remember all the links I had. Bummer! I haven't taken the time to re-do it, but just thought I'd let you know! Great to see you all last week and tell Dan congrats on his "baby!"
