She's growing up...

Homecoming 2007

My beautiful baby!

The oldest is a freshman in high school this year. Our children attend a small private Christian school which does not have a football team. Since it is football season now, the local public schools are having their homecoming celebrations. The oldest has many friends that attend other schools, than her own. One of her very best friends who used to attend her school, now attends our local public high school. She invited our oldest to attend their homecoming dance with her. Even though it was many years ago, I can remember the excitement of dressing up and attending our homecoming dances. When the oldest came walking through the door late last night, she was hot, sweaty and her feet were dirty from dancing barefoot. She burst through the door to tell us of all the fun, seeing friends and dancing til her legs hurt. Ahhh the days of carefree fun, no obligations but getting your homework done, making good grades and keeping curfews.... she's growing up and the husband and I are hanging on for dear life!
