Anna and Emily celebrated homecoming last weekend with a night out with their friends, including dates with nice young men.

Anna went with Brock.

Emily went with Matthew.

The report is that all had a good time. Emily had her group over to the house after the dance for movies and snacks. Anna went to another house for her after-party. Importantly, she was home before midnight.

I’d love to tell you more about everything that went on, but you know how much teenage girls will tell their dad about the date…

It’s amazing how homecoming has become such a big deal these days. Linda and I were discussing how homecoming was a dance in the gym after the football game – and you went in jeans and sweatshirts, not suits and semi-formal dresses. I can’t imagine how much we’ll have to spend when Prom comes around!

The four of us attended the Justin Bieber concert last night. Anna has had this date circled for a long time. I went along to be the good Dad.

It’s amazing how loud a stadium full of screaming girls can be. See my two react to Justin making his grand entrance.

It really was a good concert. Cody Simpson opened, followed by Carley Rae Jepsen. The girls were primed by that point, and how they weren’t hoarse by that point I’ll never know.

Now that the next morning has come, my ears have stopped ringing.

Lest you think I’m too old for loud concerts…Linda and I both agree Tim McGraw puts on a louder show – and we’ve seen him 5 times!
