Growing up

I know I don’t really write anymore but just wanted you all to know that Emily is now officially in a relationship!

I say officially because they made it Facebook official over the weekend!

Here she is with the lucky guy, having dinner after her cheer competition on Saturday!

No wonder she’s smitten, he bought her flowers!

Other updates include Emily’s love of pottery which started as a school coop placement a year ago to a weekly volunteering opportunity which allows her to continue to grow as an artist.

She has a uniform!

We are also exploring other volunteering opportunities at one of the local Boys and Girls Club, doing art project with younger kids and at her cheer club, helping the coaches for one of the team of younger athletes.

She’s very excited about all of these opportunities.

Here are some of her more recent art projects!

Leaving you with this picture of Emily enjoying life by laughing with her whole body!

I am wishing you that kind of laugh at least once a week!

Prom

I can’t believe I didn’t show you this!


Emily is a senior, it’s prom season and although she doesn’t want to go to prom she wants a prom so….

Here we go again, party planning!

We are throwing Emily a prom.

We rented a banquet hall with staffed bar (she will be old enough), hired a dj / karaoke, got a decoration committee together, rented tablecloth and chair bows, decided on a theme, made a guest list, found an amazing cupcake lady, plan the finger food, got Emily a tiara and are now looking at hairstyles and planning the “Emily Hopes and Dreams” exclusive centre pieces. 

My girl is getting her prom. With friends and their families! 

It will be memorable!

Seriously, look at her! 😍
