| baby Paige |
Paige went to prom last night. Surreal is an overused word, but ask me if I care... It felt surreal on three or four levels.
First of all, prom in Haiti. Who knew?
Second of all, Paige was a little girl a few days ago.
Third, she.was.just.born.

| Practicing before prom at the Hendrick's house |
At 1am driving through the pot-hole filled streets of Port au Prince on our way home from picking Paige up after prom, Troy and I sang our own special rendition of this to Paige while she rolled her eyes:
Fiddler on the Roof
(tevye)
(tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried,
Is this the little boy at play?
(golde)
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?
(tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty,
When did he grow to be so tall?
(golde)
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly flow the days.
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.

This post makes me want to hold Asher and never let him grow. Can that happen?!
Prom, in Hait? Okay, I worked there about 3 months out of every year for 11 years and I NEVER knew!! LOL
She and her date look amazing.
Anf Sunrise, Sunste is my go-to audition song :)
Aww, Paige looked gorgeous and her date was too cute. I know what you mean. I have one married and living half way across the country and one about to graduate from high school. Wahhh! And then there's J. They grow up so fast.

Oh my word! She is stinking adorable!
We also noted that they need to be given the "Couple with most prominent chins" award. :)
She looks BEAUTIFUL! What a hottie couple. You are making me cry with that song. Stop it.
It does go so quickly. Beautiful girl. Thanks for sharing her prom night with us.

First of all, that is one handsome boy, and one beautiful chick!!! My husband has been having alot of Clark Griswold moments over our kids growing up too!
Beautiful...
And put some bling in his earlobes, and I'd swear her date was USHER.
Good looking kid.
Who knew Usher had a little brother in Haiti?
My boys have only been with us for 2 and 3 years, but wow. I am already blown away by how fast the days go by.
Nice use of one of my favorite musicals of all time BTW. :)
Blessings!

What a great looking couple! Paige is absolutely gorgeous! Better get your pellet gun ready, Troy, the boys are going to be beating down the door!
Awwwww, that is the sweetest picture ever!
he does totally look like usher! what a couple of hotties.
you done good troy and tara. she's an amazing human being.
Cute couple. Hope she had fun!
They do have some great chins!
Watching you help Paige with the finishing touches and seeing Hope staring at her beautiful big sister will forever be some of my favorite memories.
You sure are raising some top-notch daughters Tara. There is so much grace and kindness in the way you care for them.
I love seeing you and Phil Dunphey with each of your spectacular kids.
Now go sit on Paige and hold her down and beg her to stop this growing up nonsense. It's rude.

If you figure out the path to never-neverland, I'll pay you top dollar for the route info.
Paige is just beautiful, and her date is indeed a handsome young man.
Wow! Paige is a beautiful young woman! I hope Troy has a big stick. :-)
Lookin' good, Paige! Who's the handsoome young man?
I love your dress Paige, it is so pretty on you! I am really glad you got to go do something like this even in Haiti. I love your family's blog and read every day!
Stunning! So glad Paige had a fun night!
Hang on T...life is like a roll of t-paper...kinda slow in the beginning...speeds up in the middle...all the sudden...
HEY...RUDE, NDY!!!
xo my love.
As my Mom used to say, "Long are the days, and short are the years."
Those tow are beautiful! Are you sure they are 16? ;)
They make a really dashing couple - just gorgeous!
Boy is that the truth! I'm having this feeling a TON right now. Our last "baby" is enlisting in the Army next week and graduating from high school in three weeks. Love that song and musical. Those words are soooo true!
Hugs to you from another Momma :)
They look so lovely together! My oldest is 12. I can't believe that will be my little one in 4 short years. Sweet post :)
What a beauty!! Did she have a good time! XXOO
Beautiful Paige and Handsome Kevin...
