Rachel's Prom

Prom was last Saturday. Rachel looked lovely in her full-skirted black ballgown. I especially liked her hair, which was just big curls and very low on the back of her head.

Jeff and I went to the "Presentation of the Juniors". When Emily was a junior they just walked across the gym. Not anymore. Now, while up on stage, the junior class members had to climb 4 or 5 steps to the top of the choir raisers, walk down the raisers to the front of the stage and then out. I was terrified! I couldn't see how Rachel wearing such a long full skirt, could possibly do that without tripping, even holding onto Coleman's arm. ( Think Scarlet in "Gone with the Wind" running up and down that big curved stairway. Rachel needed both hands to hold up all that shirt) To make matters worse, her shoes were like flip flops but with high heels.

Well, she did just fine-- they even wore their matching sunglasses while doing all this climbing, but I sure held my breath for a while.

A trip to Wal-Mart to show Dad......



Caught Grandma and Grandpa just as they got home....


Anyone having any formal events?
Rachel is looking for additional places to wear the dress.




Nothing to do with prom but just a funny photo of Rachel and her friend Abby. I'm not sure if they are practicing for a bank robbery or what? I love Rachel's eyes!
