Yes, this is a 15 passenger van. Yes, it is our new family vehicle. I traveled to Minneapolis yesterday to buy it. This 1998 model is a well used former church van.
Lily and Clara give perspective to this picture. It is quite large, but drives pretty nice actually. It’s great being able to look over Mini-vans and SUVs. The 6.8L V-10 engine is great. It has plenty of power available.
We like to go all out at the Hale house.

Esther is a month old today (note how prompt I am with this post!) and has perfected her stinky witch face.
This month has gone so quickly yet finally having Esther with us (this side of the tummy) has felt like such a long time. She has just fit right into the family like another piece of the puzzle that’s been here for such a long time, waiting to join the fun.
The first few months of “new baby” can be long and trying, but she’s been such an easy going baby, starting to stay awake more during the day and sleep longer stretches at night, 3-4 hours at a time! So we can’t complain.
I love watching her get plump, seeing her smiles, hearing her sweet little coos and laughing at her old lady screeches. Happy one month day baby sissy!

Gah, I’m super late taking Gerhardt’s 12 month portrait, he’s already 13 months, but I promise he looked a lot like this a month ago, minus 1.5 teeth and the attitude.

While taking my morning walk I snapped some pictures of a few of the beautiful trees I enjoy seeing change during this time of year in our little town. It’s nice living where each season is so marked and distinguished from the others.
