Dropped my oldest off at college last weekend. No tears, just proud and grateful!

Thought I’d share some photo highlights from our exciting, exhausting weekend on The Hilltop.

    Andrea –
    This brought tears to my eyes…I may have to have you come with me when it is time in three years to drop Christopher off somewhere…

    • Andrea says:

      Awww…you’re so sweet. I have to admit, the anticipation of leaving him was a lot worse than the actual goodbye hug. No worries…you done good, Mama, and you will feel confident and proud sending him off into the world in a few years! Hugs xo
