Camille Lyrical

I know I am her mom, but this is Camille's very first Lyrical Dance class that she started last night. I think she is stunning. She decided a year ago that she wanted to do dance, and she has really taken to it. Last year she took a couple of classes, and she was asked by her coach to audition for "company" which is a competitive team. She made it, which is an honor for someone who just started. Now I think I have the moral obligation to go all "Dance Moms" for her. That's my plan. Just call me Abby Lee from now on.

Senior Pictures

 Claire has been plotting her senior pictures for over a year. The outfit, the location, the poses. And, tonight was the night. She chose Hudson Gardens. We won't get her pictures for a few weeks, but I love the "behind the scenes" pictures, too. She is stunning. I honestly think she could be a model. She has a striking, understated beauty that really is breathtaking. I can't wait for her pictures to come in!

Ping Pong!

 Our landscaping is finally complete! We LOVE our new ping pong table, and we know we will spend a bajillion hours out here playing!

Chaperoning

 Ben and I were asked to chaperone the parking lot dance. It was our first time chaperoning, so I guess it was our time. Teenagers in large groups are...a lot. We were glad when it was over!

Red Rocks

 We went for one of our last hikes of the summer. We convinced Camille to go with us, but she complained the whole time so maybe this was her last hike with us. Regardless, Ben and I had a great time!

First Day of School

Hard to believe we have a SENIOR and Camille is a FRESHMAN! Claire is ecstatic to be done with high school, and Camille is excited to get started. Camille is taking some fun electives- photography and culinary arts, while Claire will be attending Legacy for their EMS program. We are certain this will be a great year!

 

Year Five!

 It's my 5th year at TBE! It's the longest I have worked anywhere, so I guess I must like it ;)
