We're downsizing!

In 2003, while Erika and Josh were on their honeymoon, Tony and I impulsively bought a new Suburban.  We'd had a Suburban once before and enjoyed the space and seating capacity.  Now that we were parents of 4 adult kids, we needed the room if we were all going to go places together. 

Well, that was then, and this is now.  There are 9 of us in the family these days, 3 of whom are in carseats, and we have outgrown even this large, wonderful vehicle.  We need to take at least 2 cars everywhere we go, and Tony and I don't need such a big truck.  So.......it's

Buh-bye to The Beast.
Say hi to The Shrimp!  We are now the proud owners of a 2010 silver Nissan Murano. 
As you can see, it's quite a bit smaller than the Suburban, which to us is a good thing......more room in the garage, better gas mileage, easier handling.

The only downside is the gorgeous black interior.  Millie is fawn colored, and she sheds.  'Nuff said.

We'll be keeping the Suburban in the family, though.  The Cribbies will be driving to Kanakuk in style this summer!!

It's so cute! I can't wait to see the inside. And we're so excited about keeping the Beast in the family.
