780 miles each month- 5 days a week a 2 hours round trip.
Driving my children to school.
Early and dark mornings the kids still drowsy and sleepy eyed we get in the car and go.....
the ride is filled with
laughter
quiet
anger
smiles
tears
whispers
teasing
music
loud music
conversation
conversation about girlfriends
boyfriends
new friends
"frenemies"
shouting
giggles
worries
stories
sadness
excitement
questions
answers

ReplyDeleteI love seeing the fixer upper in your photo, does it come with land? ;)
That is quite a long time in the car! But I miss the conversations with my kids back then. You do get a glimpse of what is in their life when in a car. Love the photos especially the moving ones.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely drive, but wow that is a lot of driving. But you are right it does make for some wonderful conversations. Drive safe.
