Name that Van

Today, my mom and sister lovingly offered to come over this morning and watch our kids so we didn’t have to drag them out of bed super early when they were so tired. We, however, needed to be at church for 9:00 am to practice music for leading worship at church. We haven’t lead since before Laela was born, so its been roughly six months! We were a bit rusty but I think things worked out.

I really enjoyed taking out van out on the road, though. I was exhausted yesterday and probably drove it for all of 20 minutes, as I feared dozing off at the wheel. So I drove us to church and back home, and I have to say, I love the van. I will definitely miss the zippy little car, and the kick it had, but the van feels safe and comfy. I love the backup camera, the climate control, and the absurd amount of compartments and cup holders. I love the height, and that the kids can see out of the windows in the back. I love that my passengers can sit comfortably. I really, really like it a lot. And honestly, for a van, it looks pretty sharp. I don’t have a super great picture of it yet, but you get the idea.

Isn’t it pretty? We’re in the process of trying to name it, and could really use your help! Anyone?? Please comment with ideas, as we’re a bit stumped thus far. Some info for your pleasure…

This van is definitely a boy. My first impression from pictures was that it was a big, busty black woman. Hopefully no one takes that as a racist comment… Brady thought more like a secret service agent. However, the van is definitely a boy, and theres a bit too much chrome inside of him to be secret service. So we’re thinking a well dressed, maybe preppy man. Anyone? We’re sort of thinking of characters from shows we like this time around. In the past, our vehicles have been named Stella (Mazda 3), Mr Whittaker (Grand Prix), Gord (Windstar), and Bruce (Venture). I’d welcome any suggestions 🙂

Anyway, that aside, here’s a couple of other pictures from Saturday.
