Well, it will be about 10 more years until we have to move our child into college, but we had practice today with our "honorary son", our nephew Kyle. We took a trip up to The University of Scranton to help Jean and Sean cart all of Kyle's belongings to school! It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive, not so bad. We got there a little late since we hit traffic. Scranton has a tradition that when freshman move in, the upperclassmen carry all their stuff to their room - how nice is that! So, we pulled up, a group converged on our vans and up to the 2nd floor went all of Kyle's things! His roommate was already moved in, so we had to work with what we had. We were done in about 1 1/2 hours, and the room looks good! Jean got a GREAT list from Monica about what to take. There was nothing that didn't fit, that had to come home. We saw many people carrying out "extras" when it was time to go!Here is Kyle's 1/2 of the room:
After we got everything settled, it was time to go down for Freshman Convocation. It was a very, very nice ceremony. The Class of 2012 (970 strong!) processed in in their new Class of 2012 t-shirts and were welcomed by alumni, faculty and staff. The president of the college had very nice things to say, the class banner was presented, their pins were given to them and they donned robes, like graduation robes, signifying "education". The class recited the school pledge and sang the alma mater. It was a beautiful ceremony!
Good luck, Kyle - we know you will be successful!!

We can't believe that went so fast and he is off the college already. We were just talking about it and Kyle was almost the same age as Christian when we met him! We wish him all the luck in the world!
Oh my! Haven't seen Kyle in a while--he's going to have a great year! Glad the move-in was successful.
