What a super fun weekend we just had! Last week was Kyle's first homecoming week at MSHS. MSHS faculty and students make it such a special week with dress up days, a variety show, a movie night, and then of course the football game and dance. I love that my kids will go to a school with such school spirit.
Saturday night I watched in awe as my first born enjoyed his first homecoming dance. He went in a group made up of some great kids and he asked a sweet girl to be his date. The kids chose Mason's farm as the spot for pictures and between their beautiful smiles, gorgeous fall weather, and a picturesque farm the pictures turned out great.
I really encouraged Kyle to go to homecoming because I want him to have four great years of high school. I want him to be involved and make memories with great friends. He certainly chose a pretty girl (inside and out) to be his date and I so enjoyed taking their pictures.
My heart was so full watching these kids laugh and have fun together.
My Momma heart was struggling that I actually had a child old enough to attend a high school dance. We worked with him all week on how to treat a girl- I instructed him to treat his date in a way that is pleasing to God and how he would want someone treating his sister one day:)
This beauty, Caroline, was also in their group. Kyle and Caroline have grown up together and he loves her so much. He even called me from the dance worried because she was upset for a minute because some boy was dancing with a girl. This girl is the center of their social group and she was THE freshman rep on the homecoming court. She looked beautiful!

The farm was so beautiful and gave us lots of good photo opportunities.
AFter the farm the group headed downtown to eat dinner. We had to do some last minute pictures on the Iron St. Mall. This picture makes me smile.
I was also THAT Mom that followed them into the restaurant for one last picture. A few Moms and I had dinner at a nearby restaurant while they ate dinner.
Meanwhile while I was playing homecoming Mom, Mike, Dave, Hope, GG, And Pops, were at the Hotel Roanoke for the Cure by Design fashion show to benefit the American Cancer Society. David was one of the models and it was a fabulous night!

I hate I had to miss it but having multiple children means that often you have to divide and conquer and Saturday night was one of those nights for us. Mike said David did great and was not shy at all! HA! I was so thankful that GG and Pops were willing to be there in my place and truly cheer him on.
It is amazing to think that in our family David has finished treatment for cancer and Pops is almost finished with his chemo. I never imagined that cancer would touch us so directly. I am so thankful for events like this where David gets to shine and to give support to the American Cancer Society.
This past weekend all the Robinsons (minus me) were in their finest for either Homecoming or the Cure by Design Gala. I am so thankful for a fun homecoming weekend for Kyle with a great group of friends, and I am thankful for Dave to use his sparkle and personality to help raise crucial dollars for the American Cancer Society.
