We knew that with the adoption of 2 boys, we would need more room in our car. We loved our Expedition but we would be one seat short and have NO room for stuff and friends. We talked about it for months and braced ourselves for a passenger van. We knew it would was not the coolest thing on the block but the most practical for sure. We have been shopping online, in Boise, and in the area. We found one in Portland and after a long day there, we came home in a new 15 passenger van. Yes, you read that right 15. We have room for our 7 and lots of friends. It has taken some getting used too. We are very excited to fill the front row with 3 car seats and the next with a booster. We took out the front seat for cargo and groceries so it is very easy to get in and out of. We still have seats for 12. The boys think it is so cool. I feel like Roto Rooter driving around. I did NOT want white but that is about all that is out there. My friend Amy thinks we should add some decals and that I could bring sexy back to the passenger van. HA! Needless to say, this van will be filled with lots of memories.
My front entry makes me crazy. Knowing we will need more room I made this little coat rack with 17 double hooks. It is now filled with coats, backpacks and hats. 
I painted the boys room. This is where Fikru and probably Trenton will sleep for a while. Dawit will be in our room. It is such a cute room. When we were choosing new rooms, all the boys said they wanted to share with the African boys. Funny. I am sure down the road they will all have a chance to share.
