Back to School Dance

Every year the kids have a Back to School dance at the church that even  the 12 year old get to go to!  We have some fun memories  from Austin's first dance last year.  He was nervous about asking a girl to dance and how to dance with a girl etc.  Jason and I showed him how, then I danced with him and then we had him practice with Jessica.  It was really cute!  We had lots of laughs and warm hearts as he would ask Jessica to dance at random times for the few days before the dance. 

With all the practice from Austin's first dance, Jessica felt like she was pretty ready, but came running in to the kitchen right before the dance and wanted to "brush up real quick" with Jason before she left.  I grabbed my phone and snapped a quick picture.  I couldn't help posting the sweet moment on Facebook.  There were lots of fun comments, but I loved Jason's.  He said, "She is growing up to e the most amazing young woman.  She is honest, smart, humble, beautiful and very funny.  If you don't know Jessica very well, you should spend more time with her and I'm positive that you will become a big fan."

It was so cute watching her and Austin jump out of the car and off to the dance together.  They were even more excited when I picked them up!  The volume kept getting louder and louder as they shared their excitement about who they danced with and what funny things happened.  It's times like those, that I wish I had video cameras planted around so I could always look back and relive these moments.
