Leg 4 is at hand...

I have arrived at my son's apartment....and not a moment too soon, I think.






First order of business....the grocery store-ya think? Ya, Momma's here.




2nd order of business...Cheeseburger Pie!





Baby daughter due back tonight so we can start moving her in. Her closet echos in here, but I'm certain it won't last for long!

Real Moms Wear...


OK, it's getting down to crunch time...so while I take a few minutes to copy pictures to leave with my daughter, here are a few from the past few days between unpacking boxes.


We've had the chance to have the first cooked at home dinner. Grilled Salmon, spinach salad, couscous on the end tables still in their shrink wrap from Target.



Hmmmmm..this felt like....last week! (ha ha)


Now, besides Wegman's (oh baby! love that store!), Target, Sam's Club,the furniture store, and Lowe's, we finally made it to the campus!



And 'proper' things were purchased...



She's had the first plumbing problem...hopefully to be fixed on Monday-something is leaking from the shower, under the floor, into the bedroom (oh the joys of being an adult!)



And now, the rest of the 'Mom' food has been cooked/baked and the dishes have been washed. (see a particular dishcloth that was used all week?) Lasagna, Rice Krispy treats, Banana Cake today!



'Secret' notes have been left.



Plants have been potted.

the kid crashed...


The freezer has been filled.


It's time to go finish packing my bags and make my flights.

Check out what she surprised me with, and picked up from the bookstore when I wasn't looking. Oh, ya, I'll be wearing it on the plane! Just cracked me up!



and carry tissues as they board the plane. Next stop? Boston! and two more kids to hug!

We made it!

The last part of Oldest daughter's trip to her new city, state, and University and been completed. All that's left now is the unpacking, oh and the homework.

Prettier than words can describe. The American Falls seen from the Canadian side.

Now, where'd we park the car again?

Horseshoe Falls, Niagara Falls, Canada.



A Niagara Mist, while watching the Niagara Mist



The Falls at night under the lights.

Things to bring home; cute and tasty things.

Welcome to your new home state, my daughter! Oh, and it really rains here-hard. You'll get used to it. And then it's going to snow. Big.


New home. Looks kinda empty. But not for long!


First visitors-even before the moving cube arrives! (baby sister and her roommate stopped by while driving through to California stopped for quick hugs and a tour)

Baby Sweater showing a bit of promise, finished the sleeves and now on the collar.


The moving cube has arrived...


Ever so carefully, she opens the door...praying that it all made it safe and sound...


only 2 things moved...the tiny box and the bag on the floor....

Can you see the upside down, purple computer chair in there? Not much air space in there at all!

This girl can pack!

Today we got our fortification on before heading to Sam's and Target for all those things she DIDN'T pack...and yes, there were many!

Most of the cube has been unpacked...can you remember where you put the napkins? Pizza is on it's way!

Next stop for Mom...Boston with the baby daughter and the son and their new apartment!
