We came as a family of three when Maycie was just 4 months old and we&#8217;re returning with a 3 1\/2 year old, a 1 1\/2 year old and another one in the hangar due to arrive in April. \u00a0We are so excited about a third Pruett to add to the clan and to be at home for the first time when one of our kids is born &#8211; Maycie was born in Arizona during our flight training and Dylan in the province in Mindanao.<!--more--><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While we are extremely excited at the thought of having another little Pruett running around we also realized that we can&#8217;t fit three car seats across the back seat of a normal vehicle along with all the regular kid paraphernalia required for long road trips. We&#8217;re entering into the minivan class-oh no! We are now looking for a Toyota or Honda minivan when we get home and I&#8217;m looking at features like hooks to hang grocery bags, holders for bottled water, and lots and lots of kid safety features. It&#8217;s a far cry from the diff locks, mud tires, and high powered headlights that\u00a0we&#8217;ve needed in a vehicle here in the mountains of the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>What have I become?! I&#8217;ll tell you. I&#8217;ve become a proud father and with it comes sacrifices that I once thought were pretty big. In the end, driving a minivan is a wonderful thing because it means we get to have another child to call our own. I can also see that having normal tires on it and no more roar of the turbo diesel engine means we can hear what is going on in the back seat. On second thought, I&#8217;m not actually sure that that&#8217;s a blessing. No matter how that one works out, we&#8217;re absolutely delighted to meet our third child!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s right.
