Go Marauder!

Dad recapped raising seniors/18 year olds best…“He is done being parented by us, and we are done parenting him.”

Move in day for the scholar-athletes today!

Caleb was lucky enough to have the dream team assist!

And while Dad’s eyes were tearing up,

Mom said, “This is the chance for you to totally redefine yourself into whoever you want to be.  Work hard, make good choices, bloom where you are planted.”

Updates…

Mark literally moved all of Caleb’s things onto the ping pong table and into Caleb’s bedroom while we were gone moving Caleb in.  Found him nestled in Caleb’s sheets when we got home.

The dorm room has been rearranged…probably before we got on the interstate to head back to Fargo.

Caleb agreed to wash his bath towel after 3 weeks noting, “it is starting to smell a little strange.”

He is happier than a lark and we are so happy for him!

It’s a Date! Yay!

Mommy, Caleb and Luke Date…Luke needing senior picture clothes, and Caleb needing “new drip” for college

Super glad we ate before we shopped so Mom could numb the Luke in a dressing room experience with a meal beverage!

Not to be out done, Dad and the girls went on a date to Mangos. 

The girls were pleased with the portion sizes.
