So we got a new car! It was kind of a spontaneous purchase, although we have been looking at cars off and on for a while now. We wanted to get a 7-seater AWD vehicle so that we could accommodate our new baby and Ethan along with a couple of other people (like my parents) if we wanted to go on a trip together or just get around without having to take two vehicles. So yesterday we bought a used 2004 Volvo XC90 T6 AWD. We found a relatively good deal and thought that we should take advantage while we had the opportunity. We don’t need it just yet, but we will soon, so it’s kind of nice to have it in preparation for our new little one. The Infiniti is becoming a bit cramped to say the least. I have to say though that it’s a bit of a shock driving the new Volvo in comparison to the Infiniti! I end up driving about 25 mph everywhere because it’s so big and the pick-up is so much more sluggish! But I guess ultimately that’s a good thing since I’m carrying precious cargo! I tend to be a bit of a speed demon in the Infiniti! But here are a few pics…
It's white, not our number one color choice, but it'll do...at least it doesn't show dirt!!
Rear view...it has a towing package (not that we have anything to tow!! :)
It has a Nav system as well as an iPod system that plays your iPod music over the stereo! It's a bit old school for today's technology, but we were super excited! It's pretty "advanced" for us!

Looks great, with lots of room for your new son!
I think even the towing package may come in handy…
I also like the iPod dock.
