Days with the Dorans

FINALLY!!! Dumb Covid put a wrench in Ali's license plans. Everything was delayed and she was SO bummed that she couldn't get her license on her birthday (I was bummed too). But on the day she could FINALLY get that license, she did~ AND... it happened to be on "International Women's Day." She's such a strong girl. If it couldn't be on her birthday, this seemed like a good 2nd place. Visiting the SOS during Covid has some perks... You have to make an appointment and you don't wait quite as long which is a little bonus. I snapped this picture of her getting her picture but they told me that was a no-no.

Scheduling Joey's driving test was kind of a pain. He and Jeff scheduled it. The first time, Joey forgot some of the paperwork he needed and so he couldn't take the test so it needed to be rescheduled. This was super annoying to me but...

Jeff texted me updates throughout and I was ecstatic and relieved to learn that he had passed- but now the true worry begins thinking my baby is out there on his own. We headed to SOS where we waited for over an hour during which time Joe practiced his signature. HERE is a video of his first solo trip where he left to go to Nana and Papa's and she got it when he pulled up. Of course... the gas light went on during his drive and freaked him out a bit (sorry about that, Joe). I love you! Be safe!
