Yesterday, the day arrived to bring Edward to Calvin. We stopped by John's office for a piece of birthday cake (happy 46th!) and then headed to his Ed's dorm, Boer Hall, where we moved him in. Students in "We-Haul" t-shirts carried everything straight to his room where his roommate was already moved in ...meet his roommate Paul:

After getting him somewhat settled, we had lunch at the dining hall. Then, we went out in search of a plant and an electric kettle for his green tea - 2 essential things for a health conscious runner.

The girls and I came back in time for the family picnic and met John. First we stopped by Ed's room where the girls "Nellied it up". After talking to Ed at the picnic, John & I went out to Lake Michigan for a dinner party with Calvin Advancement staff, so it was a very big day indeed.

I was glad that the girls 'nellied' up his room a bit - it looks a little bare. Tell him that if he needs a picture of his favorite aunt - Mar - I will send one up. So Julia, how does it feel now that your first has flown the coop?
I thought I would feel different but I just feel weird so that is no different.
Cinder block walls...yep, it's a dorm room. Or wait, it's my married student housing apartment!
I hope Edward has a blast....and learns a lot too. :)
