)She's dancing to the light fantastic now but we gave her a good send-off! And what a difference a year makes. Last year we wanted to know every single detail of where she was going afterwards, who was going with her, when she'd be back home, etc etc. This year, Fyl said the group was all going to Joe's when the prom was over and we said okay, and that was the end of it. And it didn't even dawn on me til about five minutes ago that we didn't get her plans down straight! I suppose Fyl will turn up when she turns up. (I tell ya, I'm jumping into this empty-nester syndrome a couple of months too early. )

Wow!! Nice pictures of everyone, but Fyl looks so elegant and radiant! What a beautiful young lady! Her date looks fairly harmless :clap_1: and the Mer's look like relaxed almost empty nesters! That makes for a great pic.
Love those shoes too. It wouldn't be a SoWal pic without a good shot of the shoes.

Philippa is in love with those heels almost as much as she is her boyfriend.
Our eldest, Alex, is in the family photo. You will notice the huge shiner he has but that's a whole different story. He has his eye on one of Philippa's friends (the one with the magnificent chest) so he made sure he was available for the prom party. ;-)

Fyl looks very pretty. I'm sure they will have a wonderful evening. You know you're not looking forward to being an empty-nester - you're just now getting the hang of being parents to teenagers. J/K

Fyl looks stunning and you all look great in the family pic. Hope she has a wonderful time! Thanks for not making us wait Mermy!! I really love Fyl's dress and the purple tie on her bf...I'm not too crazy about the all out satin evening gowns anymore.

Looks like a great prom night! Love Fyl's dress!
Hopefully their limo driver didn't slam into a tree while pulling out of the driveway as was the case at Beach Jacket's senior prom. The limo driver said, "Why don't you just cut down the tree?" A 50' tall pine. Yeah. Right.

What a nice way to start the day! Beautiful. All of you. Sorry I missed your call last evening. See you soon. :clap_1:

Thanks for sharing your special family time! Your daughter is beautiful, dress very flattering (our prom dresses sure weren't) and the shoes - yes, I'm sure worth every penny!
I love your house too. The neighborhood looks like the neighborhood we moved from in Michigan, the houses same style, looks to be the same era! When was your house built?
BTW, Paula lives in a beautiful, restored old house in the neighborhood we used to live in!
Out of curiosity, who belongs with the guy in the white tux? My guess, the girl with long dark dress with some kind of beading on it!

The Mers arrived a bit ago. They are the only people you know who will host a bunch of kids for senior prom night, stay up for their daughter to get home, pack, and leave at 4:30 am to drive to SoWal. :clap_1:
