My Crowd

Posted by Jessie

I recently stumbled upon an old article from Glamour Magazine entitled 7 Friends Every Woman Needs. Included in the Top 7 were categories like “The 9-5 Work Friend,” “The New Friend,” etc.  I would like to add an 8th category: “The College Friend.” My old roommates spent last weekend at my house for our alma mater’s [...]

Snap!

Posted by Jennifer

Ian is coming home for Fall Break!  Have not seen him since late August.  And he barely calls home from art school – a good sign, right?  In this photo, he’s with Freddy, his steadfast friend since toddler days.  Now they’re both freshmen in college….so this shot of them at the bar in Freddy’s family [...]

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

Posted by Jennifer

As I write, I’m listening to one of my favorite David Gray songs on my little purple iPod, and the title seems to be the perfect headline for today’s post about taking Ian to college last Thursday with Chris. Yes,  I cried, but only at the very end of the day….and only when I looked at [...]

Can this be?

Posted by Jennifer

When Ian was two-and-a-half, and I was pregnant, Chris and I decided that our first-born needed to start preschool.  After a short search of the nearby programs that did not reject those in diapers, we decided on a place in a church basement called Friendly Faces. I took Ian to check out the place.  He seemed to like it OK, [...]

Roommate Time

Posted by Jennifer

Ian checks the old-fashioned mail every day, looking for his college roommate assignment. Word is, the envelopes were mailed out of Baltimore yesterday, so everyone in the Mid-Atlantic states should have his or her assignment today. Ian has not had a roommate since 1998, when Malcolm learned how to climb out of his crib.  At [...]

Mind the Gap

Posted by Jennifer

  In our world, “gap” is now linked with the word “year,” and it means Ian is taking time off between high school graduation and freshman year of college. We’re completely on board with this concept.  What a great idea, to take a bit of time before leaping from the frying pan into the fire.  To have [...]

A Hodge-Podge of Updates

Posted by Jennifer

Can I just say how very thankful I am that Emily and I share the writing job at this blog?  Coming up with fresh material 5 days a week all by myself would be hugely stressful.  Even if I had enough good material on my own, which I wouldn’t, where would the time come from to [...]

Old School, New School

Posted by Jennifer

Continuing my kick of including archival photos in this week’s posts, here is a shot that illustrates “back to school.” It was taken in Anaheim, CA in 1915, and that’s my bespectacled 15-year-old maternal grandma, Lorene, right smack in the middle of a bunch of classmates. She ended up attending the University of Denver, as [...]
