Firsts......

     This was a big weekend.  In the eyes of a teenager's mom, this was a VERY BIG weekend.... Q's  first formal was this weekend. As I choke back a mixture of different emotions, I look at my tall son and wonder where on earth did 15 years go?  Because this first formal comes at the cusp of driving, there were drop-offs and pick-ups and carpooling to arrange.  There was dress clothes to pick out and nerves to settle.  The pre-dance dinner at the olive garden gave a big part of the kids a chance to relax and giggle.....

Quentin got to meet a new friend who he had been talking to thru another friend....

Once he got to the dance he met up with his beautiful date and gave her a wrist corsage.

Lastly, just before Katie and I left, I took a group shot:

Overall the kids had a great time!  This is the first that is going to lead to so many other firsts.....  I still see my first born baby in his eyes but behind those eyes is a kid that can't wait to break free......
