September 16--Homecoming

Well, Barb has officially had her first date. She was asked to the Homecoming dance by a fellow Freshman who is a month older than her. This young man lives a few miles from us and Shaun takes him to school every morning along with Barb. From the moment they met, the two of them hit it off. Shaun said he has never heard a boy talk so much, but apparently they carry on long conversations on the way to school every morning and eat lunch together along with other friends most every day. She was so excited to go. One of our neighbors is a perfume representative so she had Barb come over and pick out a sample to wear. I put her hair up in fancy twists in back and painted her nails. She wore a dress she bought almost two years ago on a whim at the end of prom season for $9. She looked cute in it then to use as dress-up fun with friends, but I almost didn't want her to wear it to the dance because she fills it out too well now. This picture was taken on our front porch as she was hamming for her two girlfriends who had been over all afternoon "helping" her get ready. She had a great time. Now no more dates until she is 15!!!
