You've Won...

A NEW CAR!!

Ok, so we didn't win a new car, however we did go and purchase one today.

Several months ago, Doug and I decided that we were outgrowing my Toyota Yaris.  Weston's car seat has never really fit where both Doug and I could be comfortable.  The passenger seat was always pushed up almost to the dashboard, which is neither safe nor comfortable.  Also, we want to have more children and we knew we couldn't fit another car seat in that car much less fitting a Great Dane and a Labrador in the backseat with two children.

We were originally looking at buying a GMC Terrain, but after looking further, we decided to buy a Hyundai Tucson Limited.  So far, we love it.  One of the biggest benefits is the dual climate control.  Doug and I can never agree on the temperature in the car and now we can both choose our own temperature.  Also, it has heated seats for winter.  We have a back-up camera and remote start.  Living in Alabama, it will be a HUGE help to be able to turn the car on before we get in it so that it's cooled off and not so hot, especially for Weston.

The only downside we have found so far is that the storage space is a lot less than in the Yaris.  We were able to fit the big stroller, umbrella stroller and groceries in the trunk with no problem.  In the Tucson, we can barely fit the big stroller, much less groceries.

Regardless, we really like our new car and can't wait to utilize all of its capabilities.
