Stephen has flown the nest

Today, we dropped our oldest off at college in Morris Minnesota. There was a fair amount of excitement and a lot of unknown. We are all entering a new phase of life and aren't really sure what we should be feeling. We drove down yesterday and checked him into the dorm about 8:30 this morning. We spent some time together including a tour of the new biomass gasification plant and wind turbine. We were able to meet his roommate and his family before leaving him there as we drove the six hours home. We did stop at a roadside stand on the way home and picked up some fresh sweet corn.

I think the changes won't really impact me until Stephen isn't here for big events in our lives, things like the first day of school, his birthday.

Hopefully we can keep this blog updated better this next year as we document the changes in family life.
