Fast forward to today. We had to go shopping. A Sam's Club run was in order. Kaylee and Kevin, Jr. needed diapers. Kiera needed a new pair of tennis shoes. Jr. needed a new car seat. The dogs needed food. Here's the result:
What you are looking at is our attempt to stabilize the U.S. economy. It's nearly $500 worth of stuff back there. It's almost mind boggling remembering how we first started out. Of course, that was before three kids and three dogs. But you know what? Wouldn't trade it. Love it. Money is overrated. Family isn't. Remember that.
We bought Kiera's shoes at Academy. They have this neat little line of footprints on the floor that you can compare your child's foot to. We had Kiera measure, and (gulp!) she's out of the toddler shoes and into little kid's shoes. Size 12 to be exact. Of course, we bought 12 1/2 to be precise--need a little growing room. Unbelieveable how big she's gotten. Here's a pic of the shoes:
Kevin's car seat is the Eddie Baur edition without the Eddie Bauer name. It's pretty cool. Lots of gadgets and features. It's sooooooo much easier than Kiera and Kaylee's seats, especially for this big handed oaf.
Of course, we had to try Junior out in his seat. Poor guy. He fell asleep in his old car seat, and we just let him sleep there until he woke up. Immediately after his eyes popped open, we decided Junior had to try out his new toy. After initially fussing a bit, he settled down and enjoyed his brief time there.
We'll see how he likes it next time we travel.
