15 Years of Sunshine!

Our sweet Francesca turned 15!

She is sunshine to all people, even her "frienemies."

She is working SO HARD in her studies this Freshman year. I am so proud of her dedication to learning. She has a great outlook on life and is always optimistic. School is a bit more of a challenge for her because she is diligent in everything she does and so she is learning to pace herself and work faster.

She got her first cell phone at the same time we upgraded our family plan months ago- an early gift. Here she is responding to texts that she received while it was wrapped up in the tissue. Her friends were waiting for her to join them for dinner at CasSandra's Ristorante before the dance. They surprised her with cannolis and sang happy birthday in the dinning area. She has met some great families at NDA. We are so happy for her!

Before leaving to her first Homecoming dance.

She has grown into a beautiful young lady with a generous heart that is equally beautiful. I am glad her brother is keeping an eye out for her at school to ward off the guys. grin

Happy 15th, Sweetheart! We love you!
