Driving Force

Yay! Gabby's license arrived in the mail! The envelope was nearly impossible to open and her high enthusiasm to see her official permission-to-drive card made the extraction process seem even longer :)

So, last year in the same week that Caelan received her license, Gabby started her driver's ed, and the same week Gabby got her license this year, Brennen started driver's ed! Whew! That means next year, B will be getting his license and G$ will be starting driver's ed . . . that's 160 hours of driver's training by yours truly, double whew! Also, our insurance keeps climbing, climbing with all these drivers. It's a good thing we don't have any car payments this year, because our insurance payments are creeping closer to "I just bought a truck" level. Triple whew.

I just had to get a couple pictures of Gabby's first solo drive (even if a delivery truck decided to throw off my photo). She has been an huge help taking her brothers to and from weightlifting, and enjoys driving herself to and from one of her jobs. Now we just have to get Brennen behind the wheel, so we can start building up his hours, then I can take his first solo drive photos. But no rush! I still like it best when everyone is at home, cars parked in the driveway :)
