Daddy Daughter Dance

Hey peeps!

WOW! It's been a while since my last post. Sorry about that! While we're on the subject... I REALLY would like to keep in touch with all of you, but my computer time is just not what it used to be anymore. A few of you have found me on facebook and I have really enjoyed keeping up with you there. I do get on fb several times a week. SO, for you that are also facebookers, can you send me a friend request? I am NO GOOD at finding anyone on facebook. In fact, when Morgan (my own daughter) set up her account a little while ago, I couldn't even locate her. Go figure!!!

Last night was the first annual Daddy Daughter Dance at Jae's school. I wanted to share several pictures that I took before they left the house.

Although, Jae would only dance with Dirk 3 times, they still had a great time. Dirk told me later that many of the dads were standing against the wall while their daughters danced with their friends instead. One dad even said something like it reminded him of still being in high school... standing against the wall looking. Awwwww...poor dads!

Dirk said the place was packed!!! I think it's great that so many dads tried to participate...even if they were pushed to the wall. lol!









Have a great weekend!

I just posted my girls Daddy Daughter dance pictures too. Our girls dresses look similar and the dance scenario sounds the same. The girls dance with their friends and that dads mingle or stand at the wall. LOL Still fun for everyone. A night out with dad is a blessing. Great pictures.

How beautiful! There is nothing sweeter than a daddy and a daughter date. I think I have visited you before. I seem to remember seeing your beautiful family. But I do not know when or if I introduced myself. I just stopped over from Beth's at Outnumbered 3 to 1. I love making new blogging friends. I would love it if you would stop by and meet me and my family some time too. I enjoyed my visit here today.

I have gotten behind on visiting blogs these days. Sounds like the Daddy Daughter Dance thing was super. I noticed others posting about that kind of thing too. I can remember going to a Daddy Daughter Dinner at my grandparents church one time. So my mother went with her dad(my grandpa), I went with my dad. My grandmother was part of the crew working the dinner. So I was there with both of my parents and both of my grandparents that time. Hope all is well with you.
