Tonight was a big first for us in the Hivory House --- Our oldest, Emma went to her 1st middle school dance! It was the "Sweetheart Dance" but our girl went with a group of her friends (Mom wipes her brow in relief).  She is 11 almost 12 and is such a sweet girl.

She's been through a lot in these 11 year! Both of her siblings being diagnosed with such big illnesses, I feel she gets so little of me, the divorce was so hard on her, then the move to a new town and a new school --- WOW!  She has handled it all like a champ.

 It is so good for this momma to see her so happy and absolutely thriving in middle school.

She is in 6th grade and we just picked out her courses for 7th grade with a few AP classes and she is taking up MS tennis.  I am so proud of her and love her beautiful soul!
