If you follow me on Twitter or if you’re a fan of Live and Love Out Loud on Facebook, then you’ve already heard the homecoming rumblings here in small town Missouri.

Homecoming fever was alive and in the air last week here in our little corner of rural Missouri. My two oldest children had dates for the big dance and my daughter was on the homecoming court. It certainly was an exciting night for them both.

I may have been a bit overwhelmed. Seriously? They are growing up way too fast.

Here are a couple of pics I snapped with my iPhone right before we left. (Yes, these pics were taken in my kids’ bathroom. And no, I still haven’t replaced my DSLR.)

My son, Andre, cleaned up rather nicely. I was stoked that he actually agreed to take a pic with me. (I may have bribed him.) Boy is he getting tall!

My daughter wore a floor length gown and did a great job of walking in her heels during the homecoming ceremony. Being elected to serve on the homecoming court was certainly an honor and an experience she’ll not soon forget.

I had a great time getting the kids ready for homecoming and they had a blast. Me? Well, I’ve been sick since homecoming night…
