September 13, 2013. Canyon Lake, Texas. Family.

I have seen them all and they look wonderful.   Suzanne was chaperoning a welcome back to school dance tonight at St. George's Episcopal School, where she teaches second grade.  Allison, Samantha and Abigail went with her.  Sarah stayed home to finish her homework so David, Ken and I went out to dinner, just the three of us.  Before they left for the dance, we visited together for an hour or so, all talking non stop.

The girls look good.  They all play volleyball at school on their respective teams, Sarah on the Varsity team, Abigail on Junior Varsity and Allison and Samantha on the seventh grade team.   Although they are in the sixth grade, they were asked to play on the seventh grade class.  They are excited  about their teams.  Tomorrow, they go to Austen for a tournament.

The best scene of the day was Suzanne taking the hem down on the girls shorts.   "Every one wears shorts like this", said the girls.   We all laughed.  The girls were very good natured about it, I must say.  The girls are thin and have long legs and actually look great in the short shorts but Suzanne reminds them that she is a diligent Mother, just doing her job.  Some things never change from one generation to the next.  It is wonderful being a grandmother and just laugh.
