The Momentus Move

She packed her bags last night pre flight...zero hour nine am...(that's elton john for you who are lost)

Last first day of school photo or something like that...hugging the doggies goodbye....

Many hours later, arriving at school number 1.. in the rain
Au takes charge and starts unpacking




Getting the loft in place and all the pieces put together....



saying goodbye and trying not to cry



And now college #2.....what a nice bed!

Psyche this is the boss's house at the beach...





the little room overlooking the marsh........


a long day of travel means we need to relax at the beach...so warm like bath water



alas time to move in..."Mom stop taking photos and carry the stuff!!"


Here's my door - can I open it....

We've dumped the stuff...now to organize it...


Sammy is the best friend ever - drove 1400 miles and moved us both in~!

Last hug for a couple months....have fun baby!!!!!!

Great pics--and not a tear in sight!

And I knew it was Elton John at zero hour.

Aw...what a move, indeed. Glad to see you handled it so well. I'm proud of you for doing all your sobbing AFTER dropping them off, and when there was no camera around. ;-)

Sh is going to love Charleston, but she will miss you.

They will have the times of their lives.

May well take my son to visit VT. He says he wants to be an engineer. As a graduate of a different, highly regarded engineering school, my hope is he will choose to attend my alma mater. But I do want him to see some of the choices.

As for enjoying C of C, your daughter will love it. Sadly for you, you may have to schedule several trips a year to visit. Be sure and visit Francis Marion Park on Saturday mornings. They have a very nice Farmers Market there.

I'm mailing you tissues now. It looks as if it went well, but I know it's squeezing your heart.

And I knew the Elton John. In fact, that album is one of my favorites.

elton john...du-uh!! ;-)
i loved this photos....the kids (can i still say "kids"??) are looking good...mama is looking great!!
I give you a month....a month to get used to the quiet in your house...not having to pick up stuff on the stairs...not having to tell anyone to turn down the music/off the tv/put the cap on the orange juice/do you have to text at the table?/do i look like a bank? and whatnot and seriously...you might possibly look back at the sadness that is with you now and think "wow. what was i thinking?"
cheers to you my friend!!
