Parental Right of Passage

The deed is done....had been anticipating it for a loooong time, and on Wednesday the day had finally come. We said our tearful goodbyes and left our first born 973 miles from the only place she has ever lived. Her new home is located in the historical and vibrant city of Boston- a great place for loved ones to visit(HINT HINT). While her dad and I sniffled our way into the car, she literally SKIPPED away from the vehicle, turned and gave us a smiling farewell wave. She is in the right place for sure! For eighteen years she has filled our hearts with laughter, love, and pride. We are certain that while she has expanded her wings, she will continue to impact us in her usual spectacular way. Below are a few pictures her "paparazzi" mom shot during the drop.
