Full Weekend!

This weekend went by in a flash. Tony was on vacation this past week, so clearly that went by in a blink! Seems like every time I finally get to spend time with him, it just goes by too quickly. I miss him.

On the bright side, we had a pretty awesome weekend to lead him back into the work week. Saturday was the homecoming dance and my Janie-Pie's high school. I spent the day dolling her up, and helping Michael learn the basics "Formal Dance 101." Read as: how to tie a necktie, and iron your pants. You'd figure he'd know all of this by 19, but he doesn't. The good news is, he'll be fine by the time he hits 20. They looked adorable together, even though Tony teased Michael mercilessly about trading in his long luxurious (allbeit girly) locks for the Justin Beiber. I didn't think he looked like music's boy (?) wonder... but to each his own. But there was no question about my oldest girly girl, she looked gorgeous. I really wish I could take some credit for that. Well, I sort of can since I did her hair and makeup, but the rest of it is all her.

Today was phenomenal though. It was the start to the cheer season! That's right, we've declared open season on convention centers around the country. Short skirts and waaaaay too much spirit are on the way to your town, so be prepared. Andie's squad did amazing though. They stuck their routine, and pulled off a win!! Yep, FIRST PLACE! That's a great start to the new season. I'm so proud of her. She's come so far, and she loves this sport so much. She's such an athlete, and she's got so much heart. I love that about her. I'm so lucky that she's mine. Sometimes I look at her gorgeous little face and think "there's no way she's really mine." And then she says "Mom, you're in my way, move," and all doubt is removed.
