New Car!


After many months of online searching (and generally dragging our feet), we finally traded in the old, bedraggled minivan and bought a new car this weekend. It's a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. It's been a lot of fun to drive and so far we're very happy with it. We're currently accepting name suggestions.

Getting the car was an all day event that occupied the whole family. Alden went test driving with us, and this is the car he enjoyed chewing on the most. There are a few minor problems with it, but it is still under warranty so I think we will be able to get them sorted out. We still have the new-used-car-apprehension that something may go horribly wrong with our purchase, but that is fading with time. In any case the new-used-car-apprehension beats the owing-an- ailing-van-that-may-die-on-you-any-day-worries.
