To the Middle School Prom
In a limo
With J-next-door
And some very smart boys (the boy in the white suit was elected Prom King)
Gulp!

She looks beautiful!
Middle schools have proms????
Two out of the four local middle schools do. I think it is because they change schools at 13, so it is the equivalent of an American junior high prom. All a bit different from our school days!
I must admit at first I thought it was over the top, but having seen how much they looked forward to it and what a great night they had I've changed my mind. Having a "grown up" event to mark their move to Upper School was special.
Dear Bookworm,
What a lovely looking daughter - you must be very proud....well of course you are..and so am I.
Tevye
She is beautiful! I particularly like the collapsible "brolly" in her lap!
It's very hard when they start getting older ... but then, since WE never age, it's ok ....
She IS beautiful, and it is with a wistful, reminiscent heart that I note the equally beautiful (in a different way, of course) English countryside in the background.
Enjoy a cuppa for me today, will you?
Angel chose such a pretty dress, the color is scrumptious with her hair! She's lovely.
Gulp is right, WOW!!! I love her dress, very feminine and such an incredible color for her. WOW again :)
Kathryn, she is so beautiful!
Oh. My. Goodness! WOW!!!!!!
Kathryn, she's beautiful, but I can't believe that's your baby!
Oh, my!!! Both girls look lovely and so mature. Sigh.... It's great to see them smiling together! Congratulations to you and Tevye on weathering this mile stone! Not easy is it?
Goodness I can't believe how much she has grown! She looks simply beautiful.
I love your daughters dress, she looks lovely in it. I was always to shy to go to my middle school dance and I feel like I missed something.
