Follow Me Back Tuesday & Opinions Needed

Good morning, and happy Tuesday my peeps!  Hope all is well your way.  Things are good here but I could really use your opinions on something.  Remember this picture from yesterday?

My husband and I are having a disagreement over something and I'd like to know your honest opinions on the matter.  Does this picture look bad in the effect that his hand "appears" to be on her behind fully?  The reason I ask is because I can tell and could see when I took the picture that his hand appears (at least to me) that it is on her hip more so and part of it on her behind.  My husband says this is a lack of respect, blah blah blah whereas I didn't think this was a big deal really.  It's not like his hand is around her neck and on her boob or something - so please tell me - am I wrong?  Does this look bad and I'm just too blind to see it or is it dad being overprotective of his little girl?  *sigh*  I await your responses and appreciate the feedback! :)

Now... on to other matters of the day:

Junior Prom and Coupon Shopping Extravaganza

Happy Monday my friends and thanks for stopping by!  Thanks for understanding about the short bloggy break but my mind was just in overload and I had to shut it down for a while and I appreciate all of your understanding.

So.. now that I'm back and refreshed - I thought I would show off my beautiful (yes I know, I'm biased - lol) 17 yo daughter and some of her prom pictures that were taken at my house Friday night:

See... I told you she looked beautiful! LOL  Anyway, she said they had an absolutely wonderful time and she was excited beyond belief.  I can't believe my little girl is almost grown - *sniff sniff*   She officially becomes a Senior in just one more month and come this time next year I will be boo hooing a LOT! :(
