Prom: Then and Now

Tim & Lori 1986: KHS Prom

High School Prom is such a memorable occasion for many of us. Tim and I attended each other's Proms when we were seniors. I know... that was a long time ago.

We celebrated with Austin his Junior and Senior Proms as well. It was such fun to meet with all the families of the kids going to Prom and take pictures of our beautiful kids.

Da Boys: 2008 Prom

This weekend, we hit another milestone. Ashlyn attended her first Prom. She was gorgeous! We loved all the excitement that came along with the big night. There were hair appointments, manis & pedis, dress hemming, makeup shopping, on and on. Loved every minute of it! It is definitely different having a daughter go to prom instead of a son. Way more involved and lots more money! Totally worth it.

Ashlyn and her adorable date, Cory and their best pals Adam & Madison met at our house first to take photos. There were family members and friends everywhere snapping photos. So much fun! Then we were off to the high school to meet with 20 more kids and their families to take more pictures. The laughter and joy was priceless. They went on to dinner and Prom and came back to our house to recap the evening with us before heading home. Watching your kids grow up is tough, but seeing them so very happy makes it much easier. Knowing your kids have wonderful friends and they let you in on the fun too makes this "letting go thing" less painful. Thanks Austin & Ashlyn for letting your Dad and myself be part of your big nights! We love you so very much and the memories we have together keep us going when we know you have to grow up.
