We have posted new photos of Faith, Makaila, and the family on our photo blog: http://mcmahon-family-photos.blogspot.com/. Check them out!
Also, a few posts ago, Karyn mentioned that we had found a 2004 Toyota Sienna in Vancouver. Well, things went from bad, to worse, to absolutely terrible. To make a very long story short, the vehicle was not what we thought it was because the dealership did not disclose some very important details to us, we decided we didn't want it, asked for our deposit back, and they refused to give our $2000 back to us. So, we are currently out $2000 and we're trying to get it back through other means, but we're not holding our breath, nor do we have much time or energy to give to a lengthy fight. Sometimes we think we just need to write it off as an expensive learning experience (if you want to know what NOT to do when buying a used vehicle and what to look out for, just let us know and we'd be happy to enlighten you). Consequently, we still don't have a van either! So, if anyone knows anyone who wants to sell a 2004 or newer Toyota Sienna (we need the space and the backseat configuration this van provides) for a fair price, we're still looking! Your prayers for a good van we can afford would be appreciated too!
We are still trying to get the feeding thing down, but the girls are catching on. Sometimes it seems like all we do is feed them, but we are overjoyed to have them home. Isaiah is doing AWESOME!!! Our prayers to have him grow into a loving, caring, and protective big brother are being answered right before our eyes. When someone comes into our house Isaiah proudly introduces them to his little sisters and he's always kissing them and wanting to hug them. We are thoroughly grateful for this and we are so proud of him. Thanks so much for all of your support and prayers...we still covet them.
Blessings,
Graham

The McMahon Family Blog!
Recently, our family started a new and very unexpected journey. Two months ago we discovered we were having twins, which came as a huge surprise because there is no history of twins in my wife's family, nor in my family. After the initial shock passed, we were looking forward with great excitement and anticipation to the addition of two new children to the one son we already had. We expected them to arrive in late January to early February, but on Monday, October 30th, after a roller coaster weekend, our little twin girls decided to arrive early, only 25 weeks into their gestation, almost 13 weeks early!
This Blog will allow you, our family, friends, and community, to journey with us as we, Graham (Dad), Karyn (Mom), Isaiah (Big Brother), Faith (First Born Twin), and Makaila (Second Born Twin), walk through the very early and tumultuous beginnings of being a family of 5 with two very small and premature infant members. We covet your prayers, thoughts, and support in the months ahead!

Hey Graham & Karyn,
We had an awesome experience buying a used car from Arvid Isaac in Abbotsford (Christian dealer). Hubbards did too - they told him what they wanted and Arvid found one! A & L Auto, 604.850.8117, South Fraser Way.
Good luck,

Hey McMahon Family!
Its so amazing to see the family pictures!!! You guys make the perfect family of 5! We will continue to pray and keep our eyes open for vans for you. I did however see a Honda with the back bench that splits, it was the touring model, so you may want to look into that, it may open up your options a little.
love,
The Springer Family
We bought a car through Arvid Isaac years ago too. He was great, not your typical used car sales man!
Hey Guys,
I talked to a friend who is a judge and he had the following comments about your situation:
"Depending where they bought it but there is a motor vehicle dealers association that provides some assistance. If they have a document showing a refundable deposit they should be able to get it back, otherwise small claims court. It all depends if they signed an agreement for sale or contract of sale with money down. If the deposit was contingent on anything, eg financing, they should be able to get it back by not getting financing etc. Would have to see the contract before anything more could be determined.
There is a lawyer referral service that usually provides a half hour for free and that might be helpful."
Hope that helps!
