One Step Closer!!!

Tonight Liz and I spent the majority of the night setting up the travel system - Carrier, Stroller, and Car Seat base.  We went ahead and put the car seat base in Liz's car (2007 Honda Accord), but tested the base out in my truck (2001 Ford F-150).  It works in the truck, but barely fits on the bench seat in the back - so we've got to replace the truck soon.  I don't know how safe I'll feel driving the truck with Cricket in it.  The truck has made it 9 years, but it may be time to move on a family car. 

We also had fun setting up the Stroller.  Me being the handy man around the house, I wanted to set it up all by myself.  What would Liz know about setting something that big up?  Boy, was I wrong!  I don't think I could have done it without her.  In fact, I KNOW I wouldn't have been able to do it without her.  I tried for 10 minutes to get the foot rest on.  After letting me have a turn at, she steps in and - WAH-LA - the foot rest is attached.  Same thing with the Child's Tray.  I got up to get a screw driver and help me get it on and - WAH-LA - she uses a fingernail to get the piece on.  I have a great feeling that she is going to be a VERY resourceful mother.  Cricket will be very lucky to have her.

Well, here are the pictures of the final work from tonight.  It turned out great and we are one step closer to being ready for Cricket's arrival.
