Leo is a licensed driver!

On January 8th, Leo was scheduled to take his behind-the-wheel drivers test.  He had his permit for the required six months, practiced driving with both Tom and me, and took his professional lessons.  In fact, his final professional lesson was scheduled for the morning of the 8th so he would be extra prepared for his test that afternoon. Plus, a friend gave me the testing route ahead of time, so we went to the DMV and tried it out on the weekend a couple of times.  So clearly he was super prepared, but we had heard of plenty of kids failing and having to retake it.  

I think we were both really nervous, but he passed on his first try! 

And a couple weeks later his physical license showed up in the mail.  

This is an exciting (and slightly scary for mom) milestone!

Tom took my car to the mountains to have a guys weekend with his friends.  We were left no other choice!  Leo had to practice driving after all.  We sent him these pictures and surprisingly, Tom did not have a heart attack.
