Never thought I'd say it . . .

Until about 4 years ago, I could often be heard saying, "I will NEVER drive/own a minivan."

I would probably STILL be saying that, except . . .

I now have four kids . . .

I have a husband later who feels the need to put a
LIFT on EVERY SUV we own . . .

Lifted SUV's: NOT so kid friendly! NOT so mom friendly!

So, 2 1/2 years ago, I CONVINCED
my husband to buy me a minivan *gasp*

2 weeks ago, my van's transmission went out.
Didn't think it was such a big deal . . . .
Until now . . .
I REALLY miss my van!

CJ's, "Hurry up and fix it already!"

Up, Up and Away!

Sending balloons to Grandma

My sister did this at the funeral of her son.
I thought it was such a great idea that we've continued the tradition.

Great way to help the kids feel they still have a connection . . .

Four Years

Couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-law.

Couldn't have asked for a better mom for my husband.

Couldn't have asked for a better example.
Couldn't have asked to know a better woman. Couldn't have asked for a better grandma for my kids.
But she was taken too soon.
She was taken too young. We Love You!
We Miss You!
Always Have.
Always Will. Kristine Tolman Bott
