Our New Wheels!

Felix's car was getting to be in pretty bad shape, and my 2-door cavalier, although do-able, was not exactly ideal as a family car. So we decided to trade in Felix's car, buy a minivan for me & Emma, and Felix is now driving my....tiny, 2 door car.
Felix has always wanted to own a minivan- I never really had an opinion one way or the other, but let me just say....
THIS CAR IS AMAZING!!!!
Keep in mind, I was driving a 2-door stick shift car with manual windows and locks, a broken stereo, and trying to haul my infant child in and out of her carseat in the back seat. This van is absolutely a dream. I can put Emma in her seat with no effort at all, she no longer has to suffer listening to my singing as we can now listen to her fun music and CDs in the car, I don't have to worry about where to put groceries if I have the stroller in the trunk, or making sure there is enough room on one side of the car when parking so I can open my door wide enough to get Emma out, the tinted windows means no more having to re-suction the sun shade so Emma isn't blinded by the sun coming through the back window, and I can unlock/lock the car from a few feet away....oh the list goes on and on. Perhaps not the coolest looking car on the street, but one word sums it up for me, amazing. Absolutely amazing!



Emma is absolutely thrilled with all her new room in the car- look at that smile!!! However, I have noticed that the sound of the door sliding shut scares her a bit and she cries when we have to close the door, but I'm sure she will get used to that soon :)

Felix's favorite part... his very own DVD player in the car.

We were lucky enough to find an amazing deal on this car, and thank you to Grandma Mercado for helping to make this happen- we all really, really appreciate it!
