Howdy Pard'ner!

We were out at the Ranch yesterday, running around wildly with the cousins (well, the girls were...I was sitting on my rear!). C discovered this hat in a big dress-up box, and proceeded to run around in it for hours. She also decided to switch from her sandals into her cowgirl boots...At one point I grabbed the camera and asked her to let me take a picture. She struck this pose and without prompting from me said, "Howdy, pard'ner!"


And from earlier in the day, on our way out to the Ranch...


...how's that for a Britax ad? The girls both use the Wizard seat, which apparently has been replaced with the Boulevard. I like the 5-point harness and side-impact head protection - and they can be used up to 65 pounds (C is about 45 now)! New baby will soon be secured in a Britax Companion infant seat, then will move into C's Wizard once necessary (22 lbs or 30 inches). At that point, we'll have to buy C a booster like this one. Yes, we're a Britax family...we used to have a Roundabout too, but sold it to a friend for her babe!

Also: updated the posts "Point of Rocks" and "Family Time" with some pics, and added pics to the shutterfly album - there are four albums from today, separated by topic!

Ahhh, love the Britax photo!

You know, I wish that car seat manufacturers would make seats narrow enough so you could put 3 in the back seat. I'm really miffed that I'll have to buy a bigger car when I have more than 2 kids. I can fit 3 adults in the back, but not 3 kids?

No kidding. You can't even squeeze a skinny adult between those two seats! And that's the back row of the biggest minivan out there - Nissan Quest. I guess you hope your second and third are big enough for a booster to fit (maybe?) with a newborn's carseat?

Beautiful, just beautiful!

The only thing gets me more excited than natural birth, is car seats & injury prevention. Remember this:
