Today we became a two vehicle family, the grateful owners of a car in which our older teenagers will be able to learn to drive (you can't legally learn in a 14 seater min-bus). The children were very excited to see it for the first time, not giving my husband a chance to even hop out of the car before exploring....
Due to unexpected supply issues, we have waited five months for this particular car and today it was available for collection in a nearby town where my Mum lives. The children had drawn up a rotation plan showing who would sit where in the new car on our journey home. We had two scheduled stops so the children could swap seats between our mini-bus and the new car.
Master J had been at school all day, he enjoyed a ride late this afternoon, and so did I. A short turn in the driver's seat highlighted how different it is driving a car again after four years of mini-bus driving.
February 29th comes but once every four years. This one has unexpectedly become very memorable for our family.

Looks great, Karen, and blessings for many happy, safe years with the car.

I think that's so funny/sweet that the children had planned the rotation and you had to stop during the route to change seats!!! Very nice colour by the way. Is it your older two at the moment who get to drive it?
ReplyDeleteSomebody must have thought about nature by choosing this car. Or you don't want any disturbing elements in your photo,s in the garden. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun for the family.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice one! Have fun and drive safe!

What a cute ride and a great color - no wonder the kids are in love! I remember those days of teens learning to drive. (Very nerve-wracking!) Stay calm.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reason to leap for joy on Leap Day! The teenage drivers must be ecstatic! Oh, and excellent choice with the Honda...we are a Honda family too! LOL.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new addition! I am sure Miss E (19) will be overjoyed to finally have the chance to drive, let alone the others of yours who are old enough to learn. A very exciting time for the family. The younger ones look so excited. Beautiful shots of a lovely memory.
ReplyDeleteI love to see your family, your blond children !
ReplyDeleteHow fun! The new car already fits into your neighborhood - everything's so green and beautiful! :)
