17 years

 


He's 17 years old! I posted this on FB: We’re a little tired of our small family celebrations, but what can you do? He got his requested meals - bacon and eggs for breakfast, leftover stroganoff for lunch, stuffed peppers for dinner, and apple pie and Dr. Pepper floats for dessert. He was smart in getting 2 of his favorite meals by requesting stroganoff for lunch. That means I had to fix stroganoff for dinner on Friday. 😊 He got his main present back in December, a weight bench, because he wanted to start working out early for basketball season (if it ever happens)... he did get some snacks and the game “Cover your Assets”. We had fun playing that yesterday, and some of them watched “Jurassic World” (too gruesome for Savannah and me). Some friends brought over some cake for him too. 🤗
Happy birthday Nathan! We love you.

He finally got his driver's license about a month ago.  He had to wait to complete the required in-person driver's training that got shut down due to Covid.  He was able to finish those up this fall and get in for the test.  We tease him about the driver's test, because he failed the first time for driving too SLOW.  Apparently, he was driving more than 10 miles under the speed limit on one stretch.  He said it was because a person crossed the street in front of him and he obviously slowed down to let them pass.  But then he didn't get back up to speed.  He did everything else right.  I've never heard of anyone failing for driving too slow though.  He is cautious; I noticed that when he was driving with us.  But I'm glad he's more cautious than the other way around.  I always knew he'd be more cautious about driving.  We'll see about Jared - I've always thought he was less observant and more adventuresome. Anyway, Nathan can drive by himself and now has no excuse not to get a job.  That's next up on his list... time to get a job!   (But wow.  The car insurance is expensive!)
