A Very Exciting Day

There was a  day in December that was nearly as exciting as Christmas. 

Kaitie took her time, much more than I expected, to get around to getting a license to drive.  She finally got it a few days after Christmas.  My life changed that day!

I can hand Kaitie a debit card and a shopping list and know that things are going to magically appear in the cupboards.  There are days when she not only brings home groceries, but transforms them into a delicious dinner.   She and I have worked out a pretty good system for all of this.  It is good for her, and it is fantastic for me.


Emilee took these pictures a few days before Kaitie got her license.  Kaitie was nervous that she wouldn't be able to pull her tire into the "L" during her driving test.  We went around and around our neighborhood, and kept returning to the "L" she drew in the street.




Riley was very excited about Kaitie being a driver.  She knew that I would say things like, "Please take your sisters to piano lessons." The best one lately was, "Do you have time to take Riley to pick out some valentines?"

The day I learned how to drive was the day my mom stopped driving! She was so happy to give them up and let it be my responsibility and I was more than willing to drive all over town for her.

Congrats to Katie!

Kaitie is awesome. That's for sure. Maybe I can give her a list one of these days.
