She passed!

Christina passed her driving test today! She was very excited when she saw the instructor approaching the car, because he matched the description of the guy who "passes everybody!"

Well, I don't know if that's true (probably not), but I think it gave her the confidence she needed to do well (but she was still nervous enough not to be cocky). She made a couple of mistakes, but not enough to fail the test.

She got the Camry from her brother, who took the Tundra from us until he can afford to get the old Toyota pickup at Grandpa's fixed. Now we are an all-Toyota driving family (except for Tim's work van, a 2004 Chevy box-style van/truck. I don't remember what you call them.).

Tonight we went to register her for her senior year in high school. The boys have moved out, now she is looking forward to her last year in high school and freedom in driving.

The Empty Nest Is Coming.

I say, "fly, little birds, fly away--but don't forget to visit the nest where you ate your first worms and were protected by Mother and Father Bird."

Till next time,
