The other day Dustin and I traded in our Jeep Grand Cherokee for a new to us Chevy Tahoe. We have been discussing a bigger car for a few months now, and we finally decided to just bite the bullet and make the switch. We were both sad to say farewell to the Jeep. The Jeep was my car, and I have to say in the almost 3 years we have had her, I have become very attached to her. I would even goes as far as saying that I loved her. (sniff, sniff) She always gotten us where we needed to go, especially in the crappy snow filled Green Bay winters, and at the end of the day she kept my little family safe. But, she wasn't getting any younger or any bigger. The back seat was just way too cramped for all three car seats. So, she is off to a better family. Hopefully they will love her as much as we did. Farewell Jeep, you will be missed!
This monster will now have to face the task of replacing the Jeep. The Tahoe is a beast! It is definately going to take me a little while to get comfortable parking it and backing it up. Thankfully, it handles great and is much more comfortable to drive than I expected!
It has already won the kids over. Elijah loves that there are vents that open and close all over in the ceiling. He feels that it is his responsibility to close them all when we get out of the car, and to open them all when we get back in the car. He is a funny kid! He is also excited to now have room for guests to sit by him in the back seat. Any volunteers? Emme likes that she can see out of her own window, and that because it is tinted she doesn't have to wear sunglasses unless she wants to. Gideon seems to like having a seat to himself instead of being squished in the middle of his sometimes arguing brother and sister. All three kids were won over by the DVD player. They did get to try it out today while we ran errands, seeing as how it is a fancy new toy. lol They were a little sad when I told them that from now on it is only for long trips, and so they are anxious to go on the "long" trip down to Grandma and Grandpa's house so they can watch it again.

The Tahoe is a huge car, but it will be so nice for you guys to have all that extra space. The jeep was a good and dependable car, but like you said, you were outgrowing it. All three kids seem very happy with it. Congratulations!!!
Congrats!! The Tahoe is quite the beast.
Sweet ride:) My girls are jealous; I've kept them cramped together all in a row for too long now! I love how happy they all look in their new car!
