We went to the new planetarium in at the college in our town. It was super cool. I didn't take a pic.
We had a Superbowl party at our house. It was fun. I didn't take a pic.
The kids and I are playing tennis on Wednesday's at our clubhouse. It was so nice out this week. We had a great time. I didn't take any pics.
But, tonight...ugh, tonight was future freshman night at the high school. I tried to take pics, but my future freshman said I was embarrassing.
So, I got a pic of her back as she walked with one of her friends.
Then, I got a pic of her talking to another friend.
Then, she cuahgt me. She doesn't look happy. Abort, abort, phone down!
We learned so much and all I can do is encourage her to get involved. School is so different now with so many specialized courses. I fully expect her to graduate high school with at least a semester of college credits under her belt, if not 2 semesters. It's crazy.
On the way out, when the crowd had thinned, she let me get this pic.
How can my baby be old enough to go to high school?
High school was a blast for me. For David, it wasn't. I'm hoping she meets lots of new friends, has new experiences and has the time of her life; all while earning a handful of college credits. :)

Wow, time flies, huh! It's funny, reading your post and seeing the initial photos reminded me of Sarah's Freshman night and it was similar. In fact, I ended up mad at her because she took off with a boy and some friends during the event. She also didn't want any photos, etc. I found that to be probably the roughest age but then things got better and we were good throughout high school together. :) Now it's all a distant memory. Sarah didn't do any of those college credit things and now she's a starving artist, exactly what she wanted to be. We keep waiting for her to get a "real job", but honestly, I don't think she will ever be in what other people think of as a "normal" job. Instead, she hangs with her artist group of friends - think "Bohemian Artist Colony" and that's my Sarah and her friends. None of them making a ton of money, but all of them following their passion.
Anyways.... I hope Emily has a wonderful high school experience. I imagine that she WILL. :)
Love, Linda
