A new addition

On Friday we welcomed a new addition to our family - a new car! Julie and Ted had been debating for a while about the need to have two cars in the family and that the beloved Honda CRV (aka "Blue") that has 130k miles, and non functioning locks would be best as the backup car. So we called Paul at the dealership where we bought Blue and told him we were coming in to look at the new CRV. Well, we made Paul's day because we took their last SE version for a quick ride and told him we would take it! The official color, a new one for Honda, is called "Urban Titanium" but in the sun it has a bit of a bronze luster to it - so it has been nicknamed "Bronzie." Julie took Blue to pick up Joe and Clara, and when Joe came home the first thing he said to Ted was "we got a new car!" Joe was a bit confused that we would keep both cars, but he got it eventually. Clara seems content with the whole arrangement. The car seats got switched Saturday during nap, and we took a family voyage....to Home Depot. The fun never stops around here! Blue is sitting at the curb with a dusting of snow on her, while Bronzie is shiny and dry in the garage, but we love them both.
