Driving Lessons

Wow! That's all I can say! On Tuesday Rachel got her permit. Now, she wants to drive everywhere! It is quite an experience, I have to tell you. It is really testing my patience and my teaching abilities. Thank goodness she has to drive at least 9 months (50 hours). I'm hoping that grandpa and some of her "adopted" dads will help out. They might have some insights to share with her that I am missing. For the most part, she is doing a good job. She does have to work on turning though.
