MormProm

Last weekend was the Stake Prom in these parts. Lauren went with a friend and had a grand time.

Hooray for rewearing last year's dress (although she fretted over its poofiness). Recycling!

I love seeing all the different dresses that reflect each girl's style and personality:

Greg and I were spies chaperones (which Lauren graciously endorsed). We can report that a good time was had by all. What a great group of kids.

. . .

On another topic altogether, it's my turn over at Segullah today. I'm telling the Birthday Lady story and musing about something my mom first told me about: Fifth Business. Come on over.

Those young ladies look so refreshingly modest and absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
(and the gents are looking handsome as well, of course)

So glad she wore her dress again. It was too pretty to sit in a closet.

And SO glad you wrote about Sis. Adams. We love her fiercely in this house and think of her every time we walk past her house on the way to the Island Market each summer. She was the tops.

Rochelle, she really was. I can't believe how many people she kept calling for DECADES. Stupendous, really. Thank you for piping up with her name. I couldn't remember it for the life of me (although I'm sure my mom could have refreshed my memory but you know, phone calls can be so taxing :)). Have a ball in France! Kid-free sounds delightful!

She is so stunning, that girl of yours! I love that dress. And her hair? Seriously perfection. And way to go spy. I would totally want to if it were my baby.
