New Wheels

I finally succumbed to the stereotypical car of every mom. . . we bought a van . . . and I couldn't be happier. I promised myself I would never ever ever buy a van, but when it comes down to it manufactures have thought of everything a mom could dream of having in a car.  I will admit I started crying the other day when I started driving home from Costco. It was so easy to put my kids in the"Black Beauty"(my vans name), get them situated, load the car & drive off.(both doors & trunk open with a touch of a button!) I guess I was over come with gratitude that I now have & can afford the worlds best car for a mom, or the tears were caused by prego hormones. My vote is hormones, stupid hormones! 


Here is Black Beauty's debut. . . she is a Honda Odyssey. . .  picture was taken on my cell so it's a little fuzzy :o(



 

Maestro Valerie

This past Saturday was Valerie's first piano recital.  She was so cute.  For the past 2 weeks she had her dress and hairdo picked out. She has been practicing really hard on her recital piece and played it like a pro.  I personally think she did really well for being barely 4 years old.

Here is a video of her playing.  She was being really quiet.  At the beginning she says "My name is Valerie Tracy and I am playing In the Jungle".

Drum Roll Please!!!!. . . . It's a. . . . .

And we are going to name her Julia Angeline Tracy, her middle name might change. We are so excited to have another little princess join our family.  Valerie is especially excited.  I know she is going to dress her baby sister head to toe as a princess from the time she comes home from the hospital.
