New addition to the family

We are proud to announce the arrival of the latest member of the family, our new ... car.  What did you think?

LBJ, ORBJ, and ... NBJ?

LBJ got a new job out in the suburbs, so commuting via public transit is not really an option, at least in the short run.  Plus, our car is 11 years old, so we knew that we'd eventually need a new car.   We wanted a car that we would grow into - a family car for the next 10 or so years.  LBJ did some research and thought that the Nissan Qashqai is a good option.  It is pretty roomy and gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a sizeable vehicle.

LBJ has been pleasantly surprised by the length of the commute - not too bad.  The new job is going well so far, although this is only week 2.

As you can see, we've had lovely weather of late - lots of rain.  Had our first snow of the winter yesterday.  As usual (for Dublin), it didn't stick on the ground.  There has been lots of flooding around the country, but we've been relatively unaffected.
