Okay, I'm going to take over for Reed now. We're back from Memphis where we celebrated the 4th with a bunch of extended family. It was good to see some cousins and relatives that we hadn't seen in a while. Many of them had never met Reed.
Reed traveled well, and we will be bringing a topic of debate to the blog this week based on our travel. Be ready to comment.
And now ... in case any of you were wondering if we were still hypermiling in an attempt to conserve gas.
When we started hypermiling, we were averaging 16-18 mpg in Abbey's van. Now, we are averaging 23-24 mpg. In my Jeep I was getting 19-20 mpg and now 22-23. I think that we're doing good!

PS Tell your dad that a lot of wonderful people went to school at MSU!!!!! ENNA!!!!
Cute pictures of Reed, Abbey, green is so your color.
Thanks for the tips on hypermiling. Before I was doing it, I was probably getting in the low 20s per gallon. That's in my 02 Camry. Now I'm getting 30-33! I'd still love a roomier vehicle, but this'll do until we have a third. Have you noticed a difference in the second half of your tank? I've read that there's an evaporation factor in some vehicles and that after you've used the first half or so of a tank of gas, that gas begins to evaporate (or something like that). I've noticed a big difference in mpg after my tank hits the halfway point. In that same article (have no idea where I found it) it said you should never let your tank get lower than half. Any comments/advice on that?
Wow you guys have a BIG fam! Love Reed's cute one-piece:) Glad you had an awesome par-tay.
