Driving

It only took a day to think about, and now Reed loves his new four wheeler.  He not only was sitting or riding it today.  He was driving it!  Go Reed!

What a drive!

I had a very interesting drive today.  I ran into a complete highway shut down in Trophy Club when the CareFlite helicopter sat down right off of Hwy 114.  The wreck looked horrible, and the wreckage was unrecognizable.

 

 

Just a few short miles down the highway, I ran across a Kia on fire on the service road.  At this point my short trip had completely made me forget all about what I was doing.  I immediately had this overwhelming feeling of relief.  My rough morning was all of a sudden put into complete reality.  It wasn't so bad after all.

Scary

I can only imagine in a few years these two will be cruising around together.  I love how Ryland is serious and paying attention to his driving.  It is too bad that the pedal is on the floor, but at least he is trying.  Reed is just along for the ride.  I can just see his head hanging out the window laughing and screaming. 

What a scary thought of these two in the vehicle coming at you.  Prayers accepted!

 

Cruisin' around Market Street

All three of us made a grocery trip to Market Street tonight to prepare for the weekend. We plan on making a huge pot of gumbo (Liz's delicious recipe) for the Super Bowl on Sunday. I started putting Ryland in a regular cart, but he had other plans. He saw this car, and he started pointing. I de-germed it the best I could with some wipes and buckled him in tight. He had so much fun driving.

I guess we started it with the Lowes car.

Mom's ride is ready

The second week I had my new SUV, I ran into the garage wall and scuffed up the front bumper. This seems like it has become a terrible habit of mine. This makes the 3rd time for me, and I don't know what my problem is. We had the front bumper repaired, and it is ready to be picked up. Thank the Lord!
After driving home from Louisiana last night, I realized how much I love the DVD player. It is normally a 4 hour trip, but due to massive rain, holiday traffic, and several wrecks the trip took us about 5 and half hours. At one point Ryland was having a complete meltdown, John Chris was yelling, and I was crying. There we were packed in a truck with all of our stuff in the cab, so it would not get soaked, completely stopped on the interstate, Cooper in my lap, rain pouring down, and Ryland having a fit.
I would have given anything for that darn DVD player! Anything!
