They always tell you not to blink. Well, I guess I know now why. When I got up to go to work today there were only two drivers in the house. Now there are three. 

I took her out yesterday for a test drive. Learning to navigator Bartow’s city streets in a Chevy Silverado probably isn’t the easiest way to go, but she managed it well. Though a few mailboxes were perilously close to meeting an untimely end. 

Jennifer and I promised that we would enjoy every stage of our kids’ development. So far that promise has held. Anna is bright, funny and caring. Watching her get excited about this new phase of life fills her mom and me with joy. And having more drivers will eventually be a big help.

But you may want to double-check your rearview mirror before pulling out into traffic till she gets the hang of this driving stuff.
