So have you called or e-mailed her yet?;-) 
Wow- love the valet service!! I am already dreading that sweaty car unloading right of passage- the kids better pick a school that offers this service!
I know Fyl enjoyed her first night in her new "world". If I had to pick out a kid that will grab the best of everything college has to offer, Fyl would be that kid. I'm sure she will be doing some amazing things in the next 4 years!
Looking forward to hearing about her college experiences!

Well done mama Mermaid I'm sure your baby is prepared and will love her college life.
Now a few tears are normal, so don't let Merman make you feel bad. I still tear up in Target when I see the back to school supplies and don't have anyone to buy them for. Enjoy your empty house

I remember the day I moved my stuff into good old Hatcher Hall;funny, my parents didn't seem sad at all:scratch:
I hope it all goes well at Purdue!
Skunky, That wouldn't be THE Hatcher Hall at La Tech would it?

This is so funny. Merman serves me my customary coffee and paper in bed this morning 
and what should be the lead article in the Living section but the Empty Nest Syndrome!! I think we weren't the only parents out there dropping their kids off at college this weekend. Wow. There's a whole host of websites out there devoted to nothing but talking about how the babies have fledged the nest. I almost feel guilty about crying for only five minutes!! J/k. I can be cavalier about Philippa leaving home because inasmuchas we've "lost" Fyl, we've "gained" Alex. You heard correctly. Number One Son is now commuting to college in Indianapolis. He's turned the basement into his apartment and is very cozy down there. We are hoping that most of his credits will transfer and that he will reach a speedy conclusion to his college years so we can enjoy this Empty Nest Syndrome that we so richly deserve.

Aww, I know Fyl will make you proud. I feel like Sam and I are getting closer and closer as she gets older. I know when that day comes I'll be sad too and probably cry my eyes out.
I know this is OT but where did her BF end up going?

I would give ANYTHING to start college all over again. ANYTHING. 
Mermaid these will be exciting years for everyone. Let me know if she needs a sorority rec. ;-)

Oh my. The whole time I was reading this, I was picturing the day that I drop of Jesse at college, and the day that my dad and step-mom dropped my sister and I off. It seems like yesterday. I can't wait to live vicariously through Philippa. Enjoy this time Mermy and Merman!!!!
Well, this is going to be interesting because Philipppa's BF is a senior in high school. She's dating a younger man. And while Cameron has more maturity than most of the boys in their set, the fact remains that Fyl's at college and Cameron's not. The two of them luckily are best friends first, and BF/GF second, but even still? When Alex went to college and his GF was still a senior, their romance lasted the year but it was tough and by the second year they had both parted ways. I can only hope that whatever happens with Philippa and Cameron, they'll always be friends.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Fyl's definitely going the sorority route and rush comes up sooner than we think!
