Fast Times at Foofy High

The end of Foo's high school career was a blur (kind of like this photo). First was Senior Awards Night, where she got a $250 Art award from the Exeter Women's Club, and a hug from Mr. B, the principal:


Yay Foo! I forget now who gave her the bunny ears....

Next she donated her hair to Locks of Love. She did it the first time when she was 9 or 10.

Looking sassy with a new do:


Going to Pride Prom with her gay friend from school. She had more fun with him than at the regular prom with her boyfriend...



Very cute in her graduation dress:

The older siblings approve the hug from Pop-Pop:

I love this picture of my girls:


Not so much this one with me, but I'll let it pass.

Thus ends the illustrious high school career of Danielle Burns!

Steph's Bridal Shower

Ok, so she's married 6 months already... I'm catching up! Steph's maid of honor Jakki and the bridesmaids (Steph and Simon's sisters) hosted the bridal shower here at my house. We tried to surprise her but it's hard to put anything over on Steph. I told her most of my pics are not any good (mostly people's backs and bad lighting) but I'm posting them up here anyway for posterity. First we enjoyed some refreshments.






Then we played games:



I didn't win, not enough weird stuff in my purse. Then Steph opened presents:


Manda made most of the food and Foo and April decorated the cupcakes:



Well done ladies!

Christmas!

My awesome kids got me a laptop for Christmas! Boy, do I have a lot of catching up to do on my blogs...

Foo goes to the Prom 2010

Danielle's senior year is coming to an end. She went to the prom on 5/7/10 with her boyfriend Kevin:

Kevin doesn't look too sure about the corsage:


But it's beautiful!


Posing with some friends pre-prom:


The men, looking dapper:

The ladies, looking very grown up:


Doing a silly pose:


Another milestone. They are coming in droves this spring!

Amanda's Penn State Graduation 5/15/2010

On Saturday, Manda graduated from Penn State - YAY MANDA!!

Getting ready to go down on the floor of the Bryce Jordan Center for the ceremony:

There she is! (Ok, my pixels ain't what they oughta be for zooming, so these are grainy):


Filmmaker Ken Burns was the speaker:

Getting the diploma:


Here it is, 4 years of hard work and lots of money later:


Now she just needs a JOB...
