Hi all,

My baby, my first born, turns 17 today.

I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around it.

Anyway -- she was in a band competition. They just
put some pics up online - these two are of her. Take a look if you
get a chance. After her years of struggles with kidney issues, and
really, no end in sight anytime soon, I am just so proud of her for
sticking with it.

Here
and
Here

Smiles,

Awesome!

I, too, was in the marching band in HS. We got to travel lots and I really enjoyed it.

Congratulations to you and your dd!

And Happy Birthday to her (even if I am 5 hours late).

Your daughter looks very sharp! Good for her!

I met my husband while in high school band, so this brought back some nice memories!

That is awesome! My dd, who also turns 17 in a couple of weeks (impossible!), was also just in a band competition! And her uniform looks strikingly similar to your daughters!
