Kevin came home from work yesterday and announced that he didn't think the reliable green stratus was going to make it anymore. Granted, we had been driving hundreds of miles a day - literally...when we both are working, we put 192 miles every work day on it. That translates to approximately 1000 miles each week...or 40,000 miles since last October. We'd been putting it off for months, but the inevitable was here. Now, however, we had a newborn baby to tag along which made test driving really fun! So we called Aunt Carole, who willingly took Camden for the day while we went shopping. It's important to note that this was the first time since she was born that Camden has not been in my immediate surroundings. BIG day for momma!
And, Kevin was right. While driving from one dealership to another, the car broke down. After a brief cool-down, it started up enough to limp into the next dealership, where we bought our new/used 2008 Buick LaCrosse. It is bright red (ugh, but slowly growing on me) and is loaded with leather interior, heated seats, individual climate control...gorgeous!

Grandma Pat finally had to set up a Google account so she could make comments! We're getting more news from Gina and family since she started her blog than ever before. Great new car! It's wonderful to see all these pictures of Camden. She's changed so much in just a month. Can't wait to see her this weekend (Labor Day) in Lafayette!
