We just had the big birthday! The boys are now sixteen and driving! It has been an emotional week for me as I've dealt with the realization that my role in their lives has changed. It is nice not having to taxi them to practices and church, but that was my time with them to find out what was going on in their lives. It has been a big adjustment. I'm very proud of them, and haven't worried too much so far! Here's my crew from the big snowstorm last month.

What handsome boys you have! I can't believe they are 16 - I've watched their photos over the year and they've grown so much.

Enjoy the extra freedom that having more drivers in the family brings.

How do you handle the schedule with the cars and numerous drivers? I'm assuming you don't have 4 extra cars in the driveway now.

We got them a truck and a car, both very used. Two play sports and two don't, so that's how the vehicles are divided. They work it out otherwise. If I have to get involved, nobody drives! They are all very responsible. I found a driving contract for teens online that we went over with them. We're going to tweak it a little and have them sign it, so there's never a question as to what is allowed/expected.
