Bye-Bye, Jenn

It’s been a fabulous holiday season. My Mom made the trip from Wisconsin and both girls arrived home from college. The household grew from 2 to 5 with all the commotion of three generations and one sweet dog under one roof, with holidays and a birthday in the mix.

Jenn survived re-entry from Thailand, and a break-up with her guy (or are they just “taking a break?”). Addie - always the independent one - is still on an alternative time schedule; i.e., she wakes up about 3PM for breakfast. That leaves lots of quiet time for her research of grad schools, application prep, and thesis writing.

Jenn is officially back at school today, yes - in the suites and settling in for the semester. I was happy to see her on campus again, but with mixed feelings. It’s like letting go all over again each time we see her off....Once a Mom, always a Mom. She is a treasure and deserves all the best.

Now we have some one-on-one time with our Addie. I promised her a shopping trip with dessert.

The good times continue.
