Permits and Knives and Birthdays, Oh My!

Yesterday was a big day for our family as we took Scribe to get his learner's permit!  He passed his test just fine and went for his first drive with Mountain Man last night.

He has 6 months to practice his driving and complete his driver's education, and then he'll get his provisional license.  (Meanwhile, Mountain Man will be looking for extra work, and we'll be taking in boarders to live in our shed and on our roof so we can afford our new insurance premium.) 

The Men of the Poff House are off to throw hawks and knives today in the annual competition.  It's been a morning of "the passing down of the shirts."  Reaches Up is wearing Little Big Man's and Little Big Man is wearing Scribe's and Scribe is wearing Mountain Man's.


And we also celebrate Little Bit's 4th birthday today!



Boo loved holding her baby sister.

  1. Congrats, Scribe on the permit. My dd wants hers but...she has to wait a year more (perhaps we will have saved enough for our insurance!).
    Happy Birthday, Little Bit (Elisabeth)!

    Have a great weekend, Trisha (and the rest of the Poff clan!)

  2. Happy birthday to my favorite four year old! Can't believe it's been that long since Caity and I came to stay with your other kids when she was born! What a precious bundle of joy and snuggles. <3

  4. Congrats, Ink! If you drive as good as you write, we'll have nothing to worry about. :-)

    Trisha, I love your mountain men photo. They're mighty handsome, all of 'em. No wonder you're smiling all the time! :-)

    And a very happy birthday to Little Bit! What a cutie pie!

    Love and hugs to all!
