How's this for a trip down memory lane? Emily's first days of 6th, 7th and 8th grade. My, how she's grown. I have pictures of her, in this pose, starting with preschool. Graduation was very emotional for her tonight. She's a freshman now. I hate to think how fast it will go from here.
Okay chickie. I am totally jealous of your hair! Natural curls I am assuming. (sigh) Wish I had curly hair. Mine is very straight.
Congratulations on moving on up in the world of education. High school will be over before you know it. Advice - take plenty of pictures and don't limit your friends. Get to know as many different people as you can. I would do a scrapbook for every year. Your future family will love it. Most of all, study hard and have fun!!!
Before you know it she will be a senior in High school and looking at colleges. Case in point for me with my son. It seemed like last week he was a freshman. Just keeping them safe and guding them through it all is what they need from us.
She seems and looks like an incredibly well grounded mature young gal.
Warning: Whatever you do, Never let her go out on a date with anybody named Corky. Teenaged Corky's tend to be a very bad influence on young ladies. Fred's and Charlie's are perfectly acceptable however.
I have the perfect job for me. I choose to be a happy person. I have a 23
year old daughter, a mostly local family and some great friends. I live in a sun-filled home that I love. I love to learn. I'm easy to please. I'm not always what I seem.

You have raised a beautiful daughter with a good sense of humor (from an earlier post).
WHat a lovely girl...and she looks just like you. Nice to have curly hair...when i have hair, mine is so straight.
They grow like weeds, but fortunately at least most of them have some sort of sense of humor. Weeds humorless.
