Homecoming 2009



Well they just drove off for dinner and then on to the Homecoming Dance. Alex is wearing "his" tux (my grandfather's tux from the 50s/60s), his new snakeskin (!) shoes, and rented shirt, vest/tie, cufflinks/studs. Is he beaming ear to ear or what?

India is wearing the dress that Alex picked out for her on a shopping trip a few weeks ago. The boy has pretty good taste, I think, as she looks great. You can't see her hair very clearly in these pics, but it's done in long spiral curls and is very pretty.

Here's one pose which shows their true personalities, since they're both such goofballs. ;-)


So, it's me and the dogs tonight as DH is away working and DS#1 is off to his seasonal gig at Busch Gardens' Hall-O-Scream. I think I'm going to work a bit on my Stars & Stripes quilt squares. It's been a hectic/hard week and I'm not sure if I'm up for any complicated sewing tasks.

  4. If I were 17 years old and lived in Florida, I'd like to know your son! I'm guessing he's a lot of fun!

  6. That's one good looking boy you have there, and a pretty girlfriend. I can't believe a teenaged boy would choose such a great dress; he must have some great examples from his Mom!

  7. WOW! That is so cool that he can (not to mention WANTS to) wear his grandfather's tux! He looks great, and I'll join the chorus that he has good taste!
    Seems really early for Homecoming though.
    This is the first year since 2000 that I don't have a kid in High School. I will next year though!
    PS: Did they win the game?

  8. Don't they look wonderful together? DS#2's gradnfather would be beaming proud to see his grandson carry off his tuxedo looking so handsome and dapper. Snakeskin. Ah, the young... There's only a certain age when one can carry that off, it's a good thing he's indulging at the proper time. Debbie, he looks so different in a tuxedo, a far cry from Naked (Man)! ;)

  9. Way behind on blog reading, but had to pop in and ask you what you've done with that little boy that you used to sew for back in the days of sew4kids! One handsome guy, very pretty girl, make a lovely couple (and I agree about the dress, he's got great taste). Bet you're proud of him!
