After yesterday's somewhat miserable blog (sorry people!), I was determined to post some happy news on the homefront. Last Friday TD No. 1 had her Year 12 formal (prom to all my American friends) and doesn't she look absolutely beautiful? Yes, of course I'm biased and for all of our many disagreements, I couldn't have been prouder. I had to stop myself from bawling when she came home after having her hair and makeup done. It wasn't so long ago she was a 3 pounder, spending many weeks in a humidicrib (not sure of the spelling!), now she's a beautiful, intelligent young lady- what mother wouldn't be proud?
I'm just reminded of what a big year it is for our family this year. TD No. 2 has her semi-formal soon (more dress shopping - yeah), No. 1 Son graduates from Year 7 and I will be another year closer to my degree! How the years soon get away from us - all the better to make the most of them I say.
Lovely photo, My DD1 also has her 'prom' next month, we've done the dress shopping & I will book the hair & nails tomorrow! She too was a fragile 3lb at birth - so I can share your delight in how your daughter has grown.

Thanks Jan. Yes, all the pain and angst is worth it when you see them all grown up. I hope you and your DD1 enjoy her formal and the preparations. X
