We looked into that, but unfortunately it isn’t possible with our model (Honda Odyssey 2004). The new Odysseys do have an 8-passenger option, but the body is different so we can’t even buy a new-model middle seat and install that in our 2004.

Great post!

Check your minivan’s manual to see if the rear bench can be moved to the middle bench position. Ours (a ‘00 Dodge) could, so we bought a rear bench from a junk yard and replaced our middle bench with it. Now our family of eight can fit, buckled in safely, in one vehicle, which is a huge advantage considering gas prices recently!

I am a homeschooling mother of five and I have so little support in this endeavor that finding your site was a blessing! Although I have to admit that I was also a little depressed – you are a hard act to follow! Thank you for this post! It inspires me to push through those little difficulties that overwhelm me and to find joy in our pursuits! God Bless you and your family!

Lissa – what a great post – even on January 2nd. I am down today…disappointed by my siblings and some recent actions…oh, I’ll get over it and your post will surely help me do that all the quicker. Now to Christmas…what I didn’t blog about…the 20 year old and three trips to Urgent Care for sinusitis, an ear infection, and then a perforated eardrum…yes, 20 years old. Next, the ungrateful 18 year old…so ticked off with his family because he didn’t like his Christmas gifts. Yes, that stable must have been smelly…cause real life certainly is. I thank God for His Graces and Blessings and Mercy. Much love to you as you approach meeting your new little baby.

“But the bickering and the griping are chaff, and what’s left when the winds of time carry them away are the golden kernels I want to savor.” Lovely thought.

Merry Christmas!
