With our Sunday meetings over, dinner done and a chance to take a break, Sam suggested that we take Hannah driving for her first lesson. I told him he could take her, that I just wanted to relax. Now, I'm so glad that I did. Our truck a 1997 Dodge Ram is now sporting a dent in the front bumper and hood. I guess they were at the church parking lot and Sam was trying to get Hannah to park in a parking space straight. Well, instead of hitting the breaks she accidentally stepped on the gas and hit a tree. The tree was a substatial size so it didn't get hurt (thank heavens), but the truck didn't fair so well. There were 2 ladies in the parking lot getting into their car and after seeing how Hannah was driving they couldn't wait to get out of there with their car.
All night Hannah kept asking how she did. She thought she'd done pretty good until Sam told her - "Any time you end up with a dent, you didn't do so good!" I had to smile. This is one of those things you don't want to forget and years from now we'll have these great memories of how Hannah's first driving lesson turned out. I'm glad I can look at this and laugh, because it really is pretty funny. I think I'm going to leave the teaching up to Sam on this one. I'm really enjoying just hearing about it and not having to experience it!!

I know what you mean. Cade is there as well, and I am just not quite ready for it. I think Shawn should handle it. I'm trying to convince him this is a Dad's responsibility. So far he isn't buying it. Glad no one but the truck got hurt.
