AND WE LOVE IT! 
So we FINALLY got a new vehicle last weekend, We got a Honda Element! Above is the color and what it looks like (if you aren't sure what one is). I would have liked to get the orange or green color because I think they are fun colors, but when buying a used car mileage and condition is a bigger priority then color. The biggest disadvantage is that it is only a four seater... although that can be an advantage at times too. The 2006 and newer models have paneling that is the same color as the vehicle, but we bought a 2004 and at that time they only had the paneling in the black/grey color. The seats fold flat OR they fold up to the side of the vehicle like airplane jump seats! The side doors open in a way that reminds me of the Taxi cabs in London. 
The fabric inside is washable and the floor has no carpet so we will be able to mop out the cheerios and dog hair in the future (okay there is already dog hair in it)! This vehicle will be great for work because I don't have to pick between Jacks Stroller and work equipment. We love it! However we know it looks strange and many people hate the vehicle, but we don't care it's perfect for our new family... and it's NOT a minivan (no offense Juli and Cherie!).

Besides the seats folding up to the side of the car the seats also fold flat so we could sleep in it like a tent.... I guess if we did that Jack would sleep in the space under the seats...
That is all for now, I'm off to try to get Jack to stop fussing and go to bed for a few hours. I am tired! Dave and I keep feeding him.... and he just keeps eating!!!! I am not sure if I can keep up much longer :)
