Can I just say that I am NOT ready for this? The "learner's" part that is. What this means is that there is a whole lot to learn for her, and a whole lot to teach for me. Here she is sitting behind the wheel of the nicest car I have ever had. Could somebody explain to me how that happens? As soon as we can afford a decent vehicle, we have to put it in the hands of our children! 
I let her drive from the DPS office and through the middle of town. She did a great job......until......she made a screeching turn into the video store parking lot and nearly took out a shrub. It shook both of us up a bit, but the point was made as to the power of a moving vehicle. I know the girl that was working inside the video store thought she was coming straight through that front window. After we realized it was alright we both laughed quite a bit. Whew! In my attempt at photo journalism and love of scrapbooking, I took this picture of her first skid-mark. Thankfully it was across some grass, and her foot found the brake.
Please pray for us during this time. We are experiencing growing pains!
That's my sister! :-)
ReplyDeletei know just how you feel. the day my son got his permit was the day i started a love affair with miss clairol!
ReplyDeletei will lift you up girlfriend.
congratulations to kendra!
The break is your friend! THE BREAK IS YOUR FRIEND!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I so totally understand! If you remember we started our journey of our children driving our very nice vehicles a little over a year ago. I didn't do much of the teaching, it freaked me out way too much. I let Tav do it. But on one of the VERY few times I let Tayva drive we ended up in the MIDDLE of our yard, stuck in the snow. It was an adventure. Although, I have to say she is a very good driver now. Tav did a superb job. And so will you.
ReplyDeleteMan! Letting our kids go to Kindergarten is a walk in the park compared to this! The even harder part, was watching my first born walk down the aisle nearly 9 years ago and marry our wonderful son-in-law. That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger!

Oh Julie! I just couldn't do it! I am so thankful that my husband and my dad have spent a lot of time in the passenger seat with Gabe behind the wheel. I only started riding with him recently and that's still scary.
ReplyDeleteYIKES!!
ReplyDeleteNeat picture!!
Very cute Kendra picture. And great shot of the tire tracks in the grass.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Kendra will supply you with all kinds of fun photo ops. Look on the bright side. Your photo journal will be exciting.
I have 3 more years of respite. And then if I am lucky Alexandra will be back home and I will pawn Christiana off on her. Because quite frankly, she owes me big for her learn to drive experiences!!!
