Off to College!

There's nothing like sending your firstborn off to college to make you aware of the passing of time! Unless it's when you send your baby...thankfully, we have a long time before that happens! Anyway, Katie pioneered the way again in being the first one to leave home. She left for Mayville (ND) State University on August 17, and we followed the next day to help her get moved in to her dorm and leave her there in the good hands of Grandma Irene. She leaves a BIG hole in our household, but we are happy for her and all the new and good experiences she will have.

Katie goes in for a kiss...


and gets a neck tickle in return!

Moving in to the dorm

Katie took us on a tour of the college. This is the coffee shop

where she works--a bright & cheery place with a great

atmosphere!
