Okay, this stroller is all that!

I have been keeping an eye out for double strollers, knowing we will need one when Pi comes along. I keep looking at craigslist to see what used strollers are out there, and how much they are selling for, etc. Well, I think I have found one that tops them all! Let me explain.

First, I would like a tandem stroller because it is easier to get into doorways and aisles in the grocery store. The downfall of them (even the one I have posted about before) is that they are so heavy to push! Not empty, but once you put two in there, it is like pushing a shovel down a snowfilled driveway, only it doesn't cease until you have taken the children out. So, I started to consider a jogging stroller.

Jogging strollers are easier to push. It would be great for walking through the mall (for exercise, not leisure), going to the zoo, walking the neighborhood, etc. The main problem is that jogging strollers are side by side. This is okay, but not if you wanted to walk anywhere where there was a normal sized doorway, or grocery or store aisle. They are just too wide!

What is one to do? I have found a wonderful solution! It would only require a small fortune, but otherwise, it is a perfect solution :-) Isn't it beautiful? A tandem jogger! It is the Jane Powertwin. It is sold at limited stores in the USA (conveniently enough, one is just a couple miles from here).

What's the damage? Are you ready? $550!!!!

What Do You Say?

I can't believe I haven't written anything since August! Well, I hope all of you avid readers out there know that the long time between posts just means nothing is really going on here. We have heard of a couple of expectant mothers who may be viewing our profile this week. I don't even know if that should be an exciting thing to know anymore. I'll tell you what would be exciting...being chosen by one of those expectant mothers! It's kind of hard to say that, though, knowing that by being chosen, an expectant mother is choosing not to raise her biological child. Where is the joy in that? Yet, once circumstances are uncovered and the expectant mother is met, and things are explained, and a relationship builds, the joy of having a new member of the family starts to feel more comfortable. The prospect of having that expectant mother in our lives for many years to come also helps to bring joy to my heart.

So, we continue to hope and pray for a new addition (and yes, I know there are a great number of people out there praying specifically for a little girl). I will keep you posted. Please keep us in your prayers.
