Temps for the Teen

In a few hours I will be taking our oldest son to the DMV to get his temporary license. And you know what? I am not worried in the least. I think our son is ready to drive and he will do well on the road. I am glad he wants to drive and have some independence- this is part of the goal in raising our kids, is it not?

I am actually proud of this moment. Here is our 15 year old boy (man/child as we call him, being 6'2" and growing) in whom we trust, taking a big step toward adulthood. If only auto insurance wasn't so expensive, we'd probably celebrate. Maybe when he gets his permanent license.
