A Honorable Discharge

The time has come that our infant car seat has "expired".  Yes, car seats expire (something about wear and tear on the straps and worries about the plastic).  This car seat has served us well.  It brought home three babies, helped us put said babies to sleep when we were too tired or Mommy and Daddy wanted time to talk (we have a long history of car rides and it seems to be where we have the best conversations since there is nothing to distract us), it went all over this state, to Canada, and California, and it endured endless hours of naps.  After all the sweet memories and with all the care it has taken keeping my babies safe I can't say it will feel right to destroy it... they say you are supposed to bash it with a sledge hammer or take a chain saw to it so that people won't take them off the curb and use them once they're expired.  Stupid people ruining my farewell.  But alas, it has served us well and it is time to say goodbye.

Here is Kayda when we got home from the hospital.

 Here is Dillon when he was about 2 months old (we don't have a picture of him coming home!!! I am appalled). 

Here is Carson at the hospital right before we headed out.
