Permitted

Look who passed her driver's permit test!
(sorry, cell phone quality photo)
I guess that means she's allowed to get behind the wheel, huh?
(especially since she only got one question wrong)
Gulp.
(Those apron strings are getting stretched longer every day.)
Congrats, Lulu!

I think I have permanent whiplash from riding with three new drivers. Good luck to you both. It's a right of passage.

AAAHHHH!!! I cannot believe she is that old. How did that happen?

She is so cute. LOVE her happy smile.

Wow, let the fun begin. Especially with the narrow, winding roads in your neck of the woods. Because she is like you, she will be fine. But, what about you?

Congrats on the milestone :) Deep Breath... my daughter got her license in Feb I didn't think I would survive the first day she drove away alone.

Oh, this rite of passage is truly a passage! I can't believe this young girl is driving! It seems way too soon for me to have a grand-daughter who drives a CAR! Best of travels to you all. Oh, the many chances there will be to annoy the new driver with timely (or un) reminders of the rules of the road. Love and happy journey!
