Before we had our bearings in the new year, Easter arrived and spring was fully in bloom. We always enjoy seeing Mrs. H at FPC, but this was a special occasion because Reese and Mrs. H were twins without even pre-planning their outfits. It is crazy to think that Mrs. H first came into Reese's life when Reese was four years old when she taught her music through LOGOS. Now Reese is almost as tall as she is!
Of course Easter is also a day when we try and make sure we get our annual picture of the Abraham-Bowes girls. It's year two with Ella in college so we only got three of the four, but those three are pretty special. And Callie is now officially taller than Claire, so the arrangement looks a little different. This is also Claire's senior year in high school, so it is likely that the Easter 2024 photo will just have our two girls.
Our family photo was even more fun than usual this year. As we posed in the church garden we had a little friend join us. Ethan's family is part of our church and he was very interested in being a part of our family photo. We obliged and then took one without him. But to be honest, the picture with Ethan was the best one we had so that is the one we are using.
We have come a long way from the days when Callie sat alone on the stairs at home in bunny ears to take a picture on Easter. Now our two girls are growing up so fast and we can barely keep track of them. And as you can see, Reese is shooting up right before our eyes and one day might even challenge her sister's height.
As mentioned above, this is the spring of Claire's senior year in high school. That also means it is her last season of lacrosse at Lafayette. And boy did she have a fantastic year. She scored over 100 goals and was one of only two female lacrosse players in Kentucky selected as All-Americans. She was fun to watch even when it was below freezing at the beginning of the season. Hopefully we will get to see her play in college when she attends George Fox out in Oregon.
Claire is impressive in many ways, not the least is her dedication to fitness. Sarah once again stepped in to be the Abraham prom hairstylist, and she did a wonderful job. But she also insisted on getting a muscle pose from Claire and Claire did not hesitate. You do not want to mess with Claire.
As we always say, the girls are very lucky to have such great friends and role models in the Abraham sisters. It is always wonderful to share these special occasions with them. The thing that is getting harder is to know that these milestone events are not that far in the future for our girls. Time keeps moving on.
