My firstborn leaves for college in a couple of hours.

Four hours from home. 

He has gotten his first girlfriend (ever) since graduation.

Oh, he went to dances and all but...this one is special!

They had a picnic today...I helped 

and had an idea about how I wanted their photos 

to look.

We all recently saw Moonrise Kingdom 

and suddenly I'm a Wes Anderson wannabe!

I love the look of the film. 

Nobody in the entire movie smiled

(so it is odd that I can say the movie was

truly funny). 

Well, we aren't all smiles here today 

but I am VERY excited about my child's bright

future! 

I think they two enjoyed their little picnic :)
