New Arrival

Last weekend we welcomed a new arrival into our family. We also said goodbye to an old friend. First, the sad part.

Lil' Blue, we're gonna miss you! We hope your new owner loves you and appreciates you for your zippiness and for being so easy to find in a parking lot. You and Monica traveled a long road together (111,000 miles, to be exact)...from DC to New Jersey and back again. And still going strong! (Except for the air conditioning....but who needs AC when you can crank open a window and let the, uh, cool DC summer air inside.)

So we decided it was time to move on. Actually, it was Julian who said, "mommy and daddy, how are you ever going to fit all my stuff in the car?" And it only took one trip to the Shore to prove that he was right. So we headed over to our (surprisingly) friendly neighborhood car dealer to look for something bigger.

Now we welcome...Little Silver? Big Silver? Sylvia? Hmmm...at least we know she's a she (Monica insists). Maybe Julian will name her once he learns how to talk. In the meantime, we will enjoy new technologies like air conditioning and power windows. And we'll carry a lot of stuff!

Road trip, anyone?
