Seventeen

 Elizabeth made it through another year and is finally seventeen!  She had a challenging year with COVID and academics, but we are so proud of how she persevered.  She continues to carry a challenging course load at school, including three AP classes during her junior year.  The workload was heavy, but she was up to the task, having her best academic year yet, grade-wise.  She lettered in three sports, captain of two, and excelled in lacrosse during the spring. Her lacrosse game has really exploded over the summer and she's been in contact with a few college coaches about playing, including a campus visit and tour last week.  We don't know where this road will take her, but it will be an exciting journey no matter what she decides.  She went to two proms (after thinking that COVID would rob her of the opportunity to ever attend a prom) and had a fantastic time at both of them.  She got her license and suddenly, she seems to be driving everywhere.  We are enjoying watching her expand her horizons and we can't wait to see what the next year brings, including high school graduation and college decisions!  Happy birthday to our first born.
