The way we are now–August 2013

Dave and I were together 18 years and we were a family for 6 1/2 years before we finally caved and bought a second car.
It’s a great car – a certified 2012 Subie Outback with *all* the bells and whistles (sun roof! heated leather seats!). I won’t kid myself and deny that it’s a mommy car…but at least it’s NOT a minivan!

I mention this because this decision was largely precipitated by the fact that our little family is growing up and we are heading down the slippery slope of the two-kid, two simultaneous activities/commitments syndrome. And it begins with soccer.
We had played hookie to buy this car, surprised the girls by picking them up together (me and Dave as opposed to just me) and were awaiting our pizza to arrive at our table when up popped the message from coach Keith: soccer starts next Wednesday at 4:30.
4:30?! how the heck are we gonna… oh yeah. THAT’S what the second car is for…
Anyways, that’s also a roundabout way to introduce Zoe’s new gig: a spot on the 6-U Hillwood girls team.
Cuteness.
