Teenager planning sleep over

Teenager.

Planning sleepover.

Need I say more????

First Dance

The skirt is too short. That's too much makeup. This is a semi-formal dance, you can't wear denin!

Oh, to be a mom. She wouldn't let me take her picture until I threatened to take it in front of the school.

She's beautiful.

Miranda's Valentine Sleepover

Miranda's invitation said,
"We'll watch romantic movies, laugh about how we don't have boyfriends, and eat." And, they did!

A popular item at the party? Chocolate? Chips? Nailpolish? No, CELL PHONES!!! They even text each other AT the party...they said it kept them from talking too loud and keeping their friends awake!!

Miranda and Lucy

It was so touching to see the bond.

(Miranda and Lucy in a moment of togetherness earlier this month.)

Miranda coming home from school

It's blurry because she won't pose for a photo. She's walking with Hailey and Max, who live down the road. Hailey had to wake Miranda up on the bus because she had fallen asleep!

So, what do you do after a week of public school? You go straight to bed at 3:30 in the afternoon and barely wake up at 5p to go to swim team!!

Miranda's First Day at Public School

She wouldn't let me walk her inside. She categorically refused to let me take her picture outside the school. This is all I got.

No coat because there are no lockers and she didn't want to drag a coat around with her all day. And a 2 hour snow delay, so she had to figure out where to go. What a brave kid!
