Up and Running!

The day had finally arrived for Makell to have a ride in daddy's "fast" car!(Makell only describes it as daddy's FASHER car) Adam has been working on his "toy" for several months doing improvements and rebuilding the back end .(what ever that means?) I'm afraid we have a girl who likes fast cars on our hands! Makell gets the thrill just like her dad does when riding in his car. Her face lights up when he asks her if she wants a ride! I love it!! Yesterday Adam finally had it drivable and back on the road. Earlier in the day we had gone with some friends to feed the ducks. Of course Makell wouldn't sleep before we left afraid she would be left out, so after getting back home she told me she was tired and fell asleep on my bed. After a 2 hour nap I still could not wake her up. I mentioned something to Adam and his reply was; "I know what will wake her up!" He walked in and bent down next to her ear and quietly told her that his car was fixed and asked her if she wanted a ride. There was NO hesitation in her eyes! They opened right up and with a big smile she said, Ya! It was so funny!! (maybe I need to bribe her to sleep with a ride in daddy's car?HaHa)
I love this picture!! She was so excited to go with him!! Don't you love the shades?!!! She had to be just like her dad!! She thinks it's pretty cool she gets to ride in the front seat!!!
I asked her if she was ready just before they were backing out of the driveway. I received the Thumbs Up so I assumed YES!!!!
Thumbs up once again! While riding with Adam around the block she kept telling him as she was laughing, "Daddy you keep bumping my head!" After trying to figure out what she was talking about, he realized every time he would accelerate it would make the back of her head bump the back of the seat! I guess you can call them cruising buddies!!! Daddy's little girl!

When Adam was about two years old he had long hair. It was to his shoulders. It was a wonderful spring day; the first time it was warm enough after the long winter to open the car window as we drove. We hadn't gone very far when Adam said very excitedly,"Mom! I don't have to move my head!" I finally figured out that he was referring to his hair moving without having to move his head!(blowing in the wind) Mom

Congratulations, Kaitlyn, on losing your first tooth. Wow!
I'm sure your tooth hung in there as long as it could because you are just such a nice girl. It didn't want to leave! The tooth underneath was probably pushing it really hard saying, "it's my turn, you have to get out of the way!"

Love,
Grandma

Makell daaaarling! You have such good taste in cars and drivers. Perhaps a pillow behind you would cushion the g's. I am so glad you and dad have fun together!

Love,
