My three daughters....

I've been on the road a majority of the last three weeks.  The girls have all been busy in school since August and I'm starting to get a little homesick for them...  I thought maybe I would share some of their pictures and stories...
Kasey and Karley
Here's Kasey and Karley the last time Kasey was home.  this was taken at a highschool football game.  Karley is in her drum major outfit.  They are both so beautiful.
Karley is now in her senior year of highschool.  She's been very busy with her soccer and her drum major responsibilities.  She is just now finishing up the marching band season.  Here are some pictures of her at her last practice.


Love this picture!

Karley has worked so hard to balance her school work, and outside responsibilities.  I'm not sure where she gets all of her energy.  She's also my social butterfly and was voted Homecoming queen this year...  She has been looking hard at colleges and maybe will end up at Concordia where both her sisters are.  She really is an amazing person...  Beautiful and strong!
Kasey is currently a junior at Concordia.  After a summer of working in the research lab, she's hard back at classes.  Not only is she taking classes but she also went out for the Concordia Cross Country team this year.  She has done fabulous!  Again, I'm so proud..  Kasey runs an amazing amount and I know is working hard to balance school and her team.  Here are a few pics of her from a meet in Minneapolis...
Kasey is on the left #1850


Today Kasey ran in a cross country race in Duluth.  She accomplished her best time yet and got 26th out of 750+ individuals.   Awesome Kase!!

Kasey is studying pre-vet.  I'm again so proud of her.  She is one of the kindest tenderhearted individuals I know and I'm so proud of her and how hard she works at everything she does.
Then there is my elusive Kelsey...  pretty tough to get a picture of Kelsey.  She's like the shadow so I had to go back and get a couple from earlier in the year...  Kelsey is my strong activist who believes in doing the right thing.  She's just finishing up her last semester at Concordia.  She will be graduating in December with a biology degree.  She also spent the summer working in a research lab but now is back hard at the classes.  Kelsey is pretty set on attending Palmer college and attaining a chiropractic degree...  This will be a perfect fit for her.  She is such a caring person and will have a great following I'm sure.  Kelsey is also a very strong willed outspoken woman...  Not sure where she got that from but I can tell you we've had a great many political debate.  :-)  I'm so impressed with how strong and savvy she is.  I know I wasn't near as sharp as Kelsey is when I was her age.  I wish I had had 1/2 of her strength when I was 22...  Again, such a hard working amazing person.
Kelsey will love that I selected this photo.  ha ha.. She's showing her demure nature.  ha ha
Kasey, Karley, and Kelsey
So, the one theme all of my daughters have, although they are all very different...  they are three extremely ethical people who always strive to do the right thing...  the "good" thing.  So I guess I must have done something right in my life to be allowed to have three such wonderful people be my daughters.


So, the school year continues for them.  It's fall and the leaves are falling.  Today I'm going to run out and get my carving pumpkins.  Kasey and Kelsey will be here next weekend so we can string up the pumpkin lights and have a slumber party in the living room while we watch scary movies...  Just like when they were little.  and I can't forget the "Gooey Junk"  Popcorn, peanuts, m and m's, with marshmallow melted into it. 

Have a great Saturday!
Last years punkins!!
