Today's big accomplishments!

To our great surprise, Strider actually PASSED his driver's test today, thereby making him one of NC's newest licensed drivers!

He promptly went out to find a hardware store* to get a spare key made for his car, and then went off to work an 11-hour shift at Chick Fil-A.

And my level of anxiety just went up tremendously

In other news, Jinna Rai learned how to add today!  It amazes me how much she can figure out after only 2.5 months of English.  She also has the concept of odd/even down!  She also taught us a song that she remembered from her orphanage today ("Little Apple").

Meanwhile, Pete took Colsen and Miles to work today, and then they went fishing in a new pond out past Wingate.  Colsen says it was the BEST DAY EVER.

And Rayna, after a long day of school, did a jigsaw puzzle all by herself.  😍

Big day of Milestones!



*He didn't know where the closest store was, so ended up driving all over the area until he recognized a shopping plaza with a Home Depot in it.  😂
