Driving? Hunt is 1-5

 So, I am now old enough to have a driver as a child.  

Gosh, how did this happen?!?!

Hunter spent his 15th birthday in quarantine due to sitting behind someone on the Career Center bus who tested positive for Covid.  Though it wasnt the way we planned his b-day, I did leave work to run him through the Chick Fil A drive-thru for a birthday lunch.  Since he is a loner, I think he kind of enjoyed the quiet, at-home birthday.

All he wanted was brownies.  Cute kid:)

Sums it up (Ashton had practice).  He got a kicking tee, pull up bar, steering wheel cover, and clothes- so, grown up gifts.

He took his learner's permit yesterday and his now officially a driver.  He drove Ashton to practice last night and did a really good job.  It is just weird to look over in the driver's seat and see your baby.  All I really want to do is put a bubble around him but that is not what Christ called us parents to do.  We are tasked with preparing them to go into the world.  The driving part just reminded me of that. It was just another thread to cut to prepare him. 

Woo-hoo and Yikes!

Hunter, you have been so easy to raise.  You are funny with a bit of quirky.  You get all mine (and my parents) inside jokes.  Though you vowed in 6th grade to never play football game; you gave it another attempt this year and really enjoyed it.  Though JV only got in 3 games... COVID.... you found you loved kicking and playing on the defensive side of the ball.   You also still love soccer and are looking forward to conditioning that starts in January- hopefully, COVID chills so you will get a season.

Last JV game as a freshmen.

Academically, you are so smart but more importantly, you love to learn.  It also helps that you remember weird little facts about most things.

You are longing for the movies to start back up.  With WonderWoman opening on Christmas Day, I think we are planning a trip to one of the few theatres that have opened back up.

Yep, that's my boy

You are an amazing son and brother.  I luuuvv you (said in our weird voices.)  May the Lord keep his guardian angels all around you (especially in the car!) Remember, whose you are.

Love ya,
