daddy has driven the same car for almost 14 years. it no longer has air conditioner, all of the doors don't lock, he has to wedge his wallet under the gas tank release lever and use a credit card to pry open the door each time he gets gas, the check engine light was indicating an expensive fix and he still planned to drive it until madelyn was old enough to inherit it! i told him that it was time. the repairs cost more than the car is currently worth.
so today he picked up his new car - a toyota highlander! a huge change from his corolla. he wanted to look at something a little smaller, but i reminded him that we will have large children, with friends and gear.
he took us all for a quick spin around the cul du sac. we all approve!
and i feel better knowing that he has a reliable car for the extra driving he has been doing for work lately. we love daddy and am so happy that he did this for himself. love.

Wow- quite an improvement! A grown up car :) Way to rock the Corolla to its death, Matt! I'm guessing he really likes Toyotas? My sister had two Corollas, then recently 'upgraded' to a RAV4. Good idea to think ahead, since he clearly loves his cars for a long time. And.... I bet its super-nice to have two cars the whole family can fit in. Someday...
