barrett: 148 months old
193 months old
We're back in the school swing, with Britton starting 11th grade this year! She's already busy with softball Fall Ball, debate tournaments, and academic decathlon. Plus, she's president of her NCL class this year, and just had to lead her first meeting! September is a busy time, not just starting up school and extra curricular activities, but also Homecoming is at the end of September this year. For the first time, Britton wanted a mum, and if you're not familiar with the huge mums that Texans do for Homecoming, go treat yourself to some googling! It was beyond my crafting skills, so I had one made, and it's 3 feet of glorious ribbon fun!
Likes: coffee, softball Fall Ball, hanging with friends, driving to school this year - no more bus!
Dislikes: waking up early for school

Britton is 16 years old!! This milestone birthday is more than a driver's license (test is next week!) and a countdown to official adulthood - it's really hit me how I'm supposed to be making her a self-sufficient person while desperately wanting to hold on. So, rather than wallow in my self-pity and cry over baby pictures, the hubs and I took Britton and her best friend Jody to Dallas to see My Chemical Romance! But first, In N Out burgers.
