Boone Homecoming Dance 2009

Bailey had her JUNIOR Homecoming this past Friday night and she looked beautiful. Her dress was a real stand out because of its color, simplicity and skirt length. All the dresses seemed to be SUPER Mini this year - Yikes! She cracked me up when she said, "I feel just like Barbie - only in better shoes!" I got to get Bailey and Megan ready this year - which was a privilege and a treat! Such good girls!

Bailey Starts School on Monday, August 24th

Bailey is a JUNIOR! How is that even possible? She started driving by herself this summer which freaked me out enough.... but she will graduate in 2011 - right around the corner. Her goal is attend University of Florida as her Dad and I did, but it remains super tough to get into - lots of competition. She is in several AP classes as well as the magnet program for law AND cheering on varsity! I don't know how she juggles it all but she does it beautifully. I cannot be more proud of her and all she has accomplished. Go Bailey!

Darby is Back to School - 7th Grade

Darby LOVES his new school, Ellis Middle... in particular, chorus.... there are 36 kids in class and only 5 boys! (snicker). He is taking AP English and Math as well. He says he enjoys getting off the bus at my house and knowing that I am there waiting for him. Sometimes I sit on the porch with the dogs and wait for him, and he will just smile so big when he sees me. I love seeing my kids happy!
