How proud you must be as a mother! And how long since I have seen the infinite horizon of Colorado and Kansas.

Thanks, Dale! I am, indeed, very proud! :D

Funny thing about the horizon. In that direction from our deck, it's not supposed to look "infinite." There's a huge mountain range with Pike's Peak right there...but the weather was not cooperating at all yesterday (it snowed!) and the mountains were completely shrouded in clouds all day. I was hoping for some nice pics with mountains in the background...had to settle for being glad it wasn't precipitating during the few minutes I had to take pictures. :cool:

Oh wow, that dress shows her eyes off wonderfully. I don't think she could've chosen anything more lovely.

Beautiful dress and beautiful girl!

Your daughter is very pretty and I like her dress a lot as well Judy :salute: Hope she has a ton of fun :gj:

Wow, that is a really nice looking dress, goes great with the necklace and earrings. Hope she has fun:)

Beautiful! :)

JLC, any chance you can buy me a prom dress like that? :O
Holy cow--I never went to any dances with dresses like that. I did go to a semi formal dance but all I had was a black dress made of cotton material, nothing fancy like a prom dress.
That's a gorgeous dress, but a dress is nothing without a beautiful person to wear it--which she is :D

look how beautiful she is!!! I hope she had a great time!!

Judy, I can't get over how grown up & elegant Petra is now! She is absolutely beautiful in that dress, but what really stands out is the quiet confidence, dignity & grace that radiates from these photos. Reminds me of her mom like that. ;)

Petra has grown into a very beautiful young woman, I can only imagine how proud you must be ;)

Wow Judy - she looks amazing! What a beautiful dress!!!

Beautiful! I love her dress!

I couldn't imagine how excited, scared, and happy you are for her to be done with high school soon! I'm not a mom, but my sister is quite a bit younger than me and she's turning 16 in a couple months, then in a couple years she's be in your daughters shoes! It's crazy how fast time flies and kids grow up! :tears:
