No it's not a new James Bond movie but I suppose if you were out on the road at the same time as Tucker it might be considered an action adventure. Yes it's true, it is now legal for Tucker to drive alone in the car. Scary (in more ways than one). He passed the driving test today--in one try no less. How difficult could it be since the test took all of 10 minutes according to his dad. I guess they are processing so many people every day they really can't do thorough testing. However, it did take him two tries to pass the written test. In this photo he isn't actually preparing to drive more than a few feet though. We just needed the car moved from in front of the driveway to in front of the house. So he drove maybe all of 10 feet after I took the photo. I think that counts as his first drive all alone. Glad we got that over with. We were all just leaving to go somewhere as a family and he asked if he could follow us in the car by himself. I guess he doesn't realize just how expensive almost $4 a gallon is. Oh yeah, he will be learning soon. Nevertheless, a banner day for any teen.

Ahh another milestone. How exciting for him and thrilling? scary? emotional? terrifying? satisfying? for you...depends on the moment I suppose. Hardly seems possible, and yes, I AM aware that that makes me sound like a doddering old lady auntie who refuses to accept the reality of time passing. But still...
Oh so scary. Did he past the Chandler home test? Well, there should be one. This could delay the process. quesitons like...Who is your maternal great grandfather... or what was your opas favorite color as a kid? This could really hold up the drivers process. (:
Yeah, that gas will damper any illusions of Jack Keroak and "On the Road"
We are all getting old. (:
All I can say is WOW. Those darn kids grow up to fast
WOW! That came up fast! CONGRATS to Tucker! My thoughts are with you and Dennis :)
