His First Dance

Do you remember yours?

I don't remember a whole lot about mine but I am pretty sure there was an entire can of Rave hairspray involved.

Slippery When Wet piping through the speakers.

And more sequins than the human eye was ever intended to behold.

Our Homeschool tutorial (LCA) hosts numerous events for the students that they would normally be a part of if in a public school setting.

Fall Dance is just one of those.

Tyler attended his first official High School dance on November 4th.

When did he grow up?



And just who the heck gave him permission huh?!

The theme this year (this is a "dress up" dance) was "Urban Alley"...meaning anything to do with city life.

He decided to go as a homeless person.



I think he was going for comfort.

What can I say?

It's in his genes.





Due to a prior commitment I was not able to take Tyler to this dance.

Which meant no picture taking for me at the dance.

My fellow Homeschool mom/teacher of all things Spanish/friend Giovanna was kind enough to send this picture to me.

This is Tyler and her daughter Rachel. Rachel went as a Ninja Turtle.



So clever.

She is 16 and already a Senior this year at LCA.

I know...amazing.

See Rachel has realized that God has some big plans for her life and she is more than ready to get started with those plans. She will be leaving on Thanksgiving Day for Bolivia on a mission trip. Please say a prayer for her would you?

Tyler was a bit nervous about the whole dancing thing.

So we cranked up the music and practiced in the living room.

His size 11's are permanently imprinted on my feet now.

A sweet memory I never want to forget.

Not that he really needed my help.

Looks as though he found his wings...

And did just fine flying solo.


*sniff*
