Kickball or kickbeer?

Ed has joined a kickball team and his first game was tonight.  His team - A Drinking Team with a Kickball Problem - did great and the group is so fun.  They lost the first game but won the second with a score of 6-1.   I think it's great that kickball is coming back.  It's so fun and there is no need to have even a ounce of athletic skill.   I am the pregnant cheerleader sitting on the sidelines who gets comments of "hey- do you have an extra kickball in your shirt we could use?" Good times.

I took a couple fun photos of the night but I'm not sure if Ed "I'm About To Be a Dad" W. would appreciate some of them on the blog.  So I will just post this one instead.   He plays every Friday night so I promise to get one of him in action.  Let's play ball!

We will never own a minivan

About six years ago, a group of friends were sitting on a balcony late at night drinking beers and thinking deep thoughts.  As they watched the cars drive by a pact was made;  a pact that all have kept to this day.  It was on that night that they swore they would never own a mini-van.  Eye contact was made as it was said, hands were shook and beers were toasted. It was that serious. 

Well kids - we've kept our end of the bargain.  Meet Yoshii, the newest member of our family.  Yoshii is our official baby mobile.  After months of research on Ed's part, we decided that the Scion XB is a perfect fit.  We traded in our little Toyota Tacoma 2 seater for this guy. Some people love it, some hate it but to us it is perfect.  Plus it meet all the criteria:

• Safe?  Check.
• Big enough for stroller? Check.
• Consumer Reports approved? Check.
• Not a minivan? Check.
