Being a Grown Up...

-
Jim and I decided it was officially time to be grown ups and invest in a real car.

We knew we needed an SUV so that both car seats could fit inside safely and with room to spare. Between my jeep wrangler and Jim's ford ranger truck...we needed a serious upgrade. After months and months of research, we opted for a 2014 Acura MDX. We wanted the three rows of seating, all wheel drive and the tech package.

Those amenities will be nice when we have visitors in town, or when we drive up north for the holidays.

Here are a few shots of the car; it looks really pretty with the sun setting last night.



 
 
 
And the beautiful, spotless tires that don't have a touch of dirt on them....we honestly didn't even want to drive it.


 
The sales guy, Tony, took our picture...first (and second) family photo in front of the new car! Haha

 
 
Jim was SO super stoked. He was like a little kid on Christmas morning.


When we drove the car off the lot, it had 9 miles on it...and we forgot to take a picture. So you bet that we pulled over and took a picture of the odometer as we were driving home. I GUESS 11 miles isn't that bad. ;) Sure beats my 120K on the jeep.

 
We got the all wheel drive, technology package which will definitely be useful on those road trips to MA! Look out everyone...here we come!!! Can't wait. Oh and Katie P - I have heated seats for the first time ever. I am ecstatic about them. :)

 
And here is what our Saturday is looking like...Jimbo painting the nursery and me blogging away about our first few weeks here in DC. Can't complain. We are supposed to receive our household items from LA on Monday, so we should be setting up the nursery this week and into next weekend. More pictures to come!!
 
 
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!!!
 
xo,

    A 2014 Acura MDX is nice change from your jeep and your husband’s ranger. While those cars come with excellent road performance, you’ll also want something sleek and luxurious to drive for special occasions. The Acura is a great choice for that. Cheers!

  Here is Cal’s journal :) Saturday Feb 18 We packed our big van and drove to NEW YORK CITY.  It was a long drive. We got to play the switch for a little bit, and we also rested. We got Subway turkey sandwiches on the way to New York. We stopped at a rest stop to go pee. It was crowded. Then continued driving to New York. We got to the hotel in new york and our room was not ready. We walked to central park and climbed rocks and took pictures of birds. We saw some big horses that had carriages on them for people to have a ride around the park. We went to the central park zoo but it was closed. We then found mom and dads friend Lauren and we got pizza together. Dad helped her get a taxi home. We went to bed in the hotel and saw lots of lights and buildings. Sunday Feb 19 We went back to Central Park to feed the birds and eat bagels. We had so much fun feeding the birds.  I love Mom.  I love Dad.  I love Conor and Caden so much.  I love me.  I love everyone in the world. We saw people ice

 Here is Mr Caden Francis! Saturday Feb 18 We rented a new car and packed it up on Saturday morning.  We then drove to New York.  It took almost 4 hours! We did a little bit of television, then we rested with our blankets and pillows and then we ate Subway sandwiches.  When we got to NY, we went to Central Park! There were so many birds there. We took a lot of pictures of birds at the New york park (the birds were fat). It was SO FUNNY! We then saw Dad’s friend Lauren and got pizza with her. We watched some youtube videos while we were at dinner. The pizza was so yummy.(My Favorite Bird in the world.) Sunday Feb 19  On Sunday morning we woke up in NY city. We found a place that sold bagels!!! We each ordered a bag and walked back to Central Park. We were sad when we found out the bird sanctuary was closed until 11 o'clock. We were sad but we still saw some more birds and tried to give them our crumbs. We then got in our car and started to drive to Washington DC It took about 4 h

This is What Miscarriage Looks Like…

Me and Jim have some hard news to share. We originally did not think we were going to post something so personal - but while going through this experience, I feel it’s important to share our story and hopefully help other people going through this same emotional roller coaster. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, and quite frankly it is ROUGH.   Here is our story - We surprisingly found out we were expecting over the Fourth of July, our favorite holiday and our favorite week with our favorite people. Naturally, it felt exciting because it was an awesome time. Nonetheless, we were shocked and terrified because our youngest is five. Quite the age gap when you have three kids in 26 months. Fast forward: On Friday, September 24, 2021, when I was 16 weeks pregnant, we found out we were having our fourth boy. We were excited and not at all surprised haha. We knew it was another boy by my symptoms and how I felt.  September 24 is my moms birthday, and September 23 is my dads birthday. Tha
