Traveling with Riley is very difficult. Riley needs an adult near her at all times and she has alot of equipment that has to be near her as well. So we have actually never been able to ride as a family in one car before because I have to sit in the back with Riley while Josh drives and that leaves no room for Ayden (he is only 5 and too young to safely sit in the front seat). So every time we have gone out as a family we have had to coordinate it with other people who can help drive Ayden or me & Riley. It is a nightmare and really hard on Ayden (& us) for us to never "go out" as a family. But now thanks to our incredible parents we can all drive together as a family! Josh's mom and dad got us a great deal on a used SUV with 3 rows of seats so we all fit! We are soooooo excited! This is a big step for us toward being more of a 'normal' family and we hope to take Riley out of the house a little more now - to do slightly more normal childhood stuff for her (and Ayden) like trips to the park or to get ice cream as a family! ;)
Ronnie and Gail, we can not thank you enough for this amazing gift! I could not ask for better in-laws than you two! You are so generous with your love, time, and gifts. We love you!
