Gretchen has graduated

to a new car seat booster, too. We even found the pink heart scribbles pattern she wanted right here in town at Sears! We lucked out since we showed her all the patterns online and then discovered, you cannot order them all online!!

Here she is in her old seat for the very last time....

This is her sitting in it for the very first time back on Sept 27, 2006. Ten months old.

Oh! Here is Carl sneaking into Gretchen's post...

And here she is in the new seat....

Yes, the van is ridiculously clean. So much so that I bought 6 tan towels to use as floor mats until Lew will buy the expensive all weather ones for me. Plus, I am covering the seats where their feet hit. Ridiculously clean is more of an understatement. This van looks brand new. It's a 2005, but there is not one spot on any piece of upholstery in the whole thing.
