Homecoming

A couple of weekends ago Madeline and Austin attended the JPII homecoming dance. Madeline had to miss attending the actual football game because she had to cheer for St Marks. I think they were mostly excited (or Madeline was) about the chance to get dressed up and go out on an official date with dinnner etc and one they could drive to themselves. I don't think they stayed a long time at the dance, opting to wear their fancy clothes back to Austin's house and hang out. We had to miss the whole thing, of course, but Mary was nice enough to take some photos and be the responsible adult (she doesn't really relish this new role in Madeline's life!)

Here they are before the dance. We think Madeline looks particularly beautiful and very grown up (and of course Austin looks handsome and grown up too!)
