My Aerin



She is my girl...but I am so proud of her. Last night's Cotillion at Radnor Hunt she was the belle of the ball, in large part due to her lovely and winning ways and her social IQ.

This is the first year (after 5 years in Cotillion) with no white gloves and no curtsying. I am bereft...the years of the little bob as she met elders are over.

She is now the tallest in the class (with heels 5' 8 1/2") at age 13, and not finished yet. Most importantly, she has lovely character and is developing into a strong, good young woman.

To my Aerin...

Born in my heart and always,
ABL (Mommy)

She is just beautiful!! I love the spelling of her name, so....Irish! I'm sure she was the "belle of the ball"!!

Anne, she is just lovely and looks so much more mature than she did when you last posted about her. She is definitely a stunner with much class and elegance about her. Just like her mother.

She has had the pleasure of an excellent role model, Anne!

Slot machines and video poker nowadays bring more than 70% of the total income of casinos. But why they are popular so? This question is easily answered. When the slot machines there are huge jackpots and the odds are huge.

I have a 14 year old (15 this week) girl and her sweet self disappeared around her 13th birthday and we're hoping she makes an appearance soon. Moody doesn't even begin to describe it.....sounds like you are fortunate! Sigh.
