apples and drama...

A birthday and a first homecoming dance. Events of great importance around here. Sarah's ninth birthday party included a trip to the apple orchard. Eight kids + 35 minutes = 104 lbs. of apples. We're raining apples. Giving them to friends, neighbors, partygoers, etc. Applesauce, muffins and a treat for her classmates and I still have a full grocery bag of apples....
Hana is at her first homecoming tonight. Fourteen lends itself to the grand drama of a first all out dress up event. The arrangements and angst have been swirling for the last six weeks. I never thought the night would get here. She looks so beautiful.
