Chase's First Day of High School

Tommy and I still can't believe our baby girl started high school today! We are so proud of Chase and all of her accomplishments! Chase continually surpasses our expectations! She has become this wonderful young woman right before our eyes...We count it a privilege to be her parents! Chase loves the Lord, she loves her family, and her friends, she loves school and learning, she loves to sing and is very excited about chorus this year (as a sidenote we just found out Chase's chorus teacher this year was also Matthew's high school chorus teacher!) Chase also has a new passion for Marching Band, (which of course her brothers love, since they all 3 were in the Marching Band at their high schools, especially Matthew, he would still be in band if he could!! LOL!) Chase is a member of the Colorguard, and she loves it!! Chase is really getting involved in school activities and making the most of her high school experience...Tommy and I could go on and on about how proud we are...instead I will leave you with a few pictures from this morning before school!! :)

Isn't she so beautiful??

I have made a sign every year since Chase started Preschool - stating the school year, the school, the city, and the date that school started...I started this just to mark the occasion in a picture, but it has turned into a tradition that Chase looks forward to as much as I do!

Another tradition we started years ago that we still continue is going to Waffle House the First/and Last day of school every year...It means getting up alittle earlier, but it's a good time for the 3 of us!
