First Day of School 2022 – Thunderer’s Turn
Hey FlameFlash, you may ask, where’s her backpack?
Well, she’s off to 3rd grade in these pictures so they did the whole “come meet the teacher and drop off your supplies” thing earlier and she opted to leave her backpack at the school that day too.
First Day of College 2022
Little Miss, even though she started college and was away in the dorm, was kind enough to humor me by sending me a “first day of school” picture. She started right around the same time Superman and Newbie did, at least, according to the fact that this saved picture is before Thunderer’s first day.

2022 First Day of School – Bus Stop Waiting
Since we had a little time, we might as well take a few other pictures here at the park.
So let’s send them down the slide in birth order!

2022 First Day of School – The Backpack Poses
Yep, I’ve fallen way behind at this point. Back to school shopping signs are going up for this next school year already and here I am without posting last year’s first day of school pictures.
Only thing to do is keep going forward when I have time though, so here I go.
Middle school started slightly earlier than elementary so as we jump in, Superman and Newbie are featured because Thunderer wasn’t starting immediately that day.
College Caturday: Big Red
Well, if we’re going to do one with Lady Grey we better get her daughter out there since she’s always been officially Little Miss’ cat.

College Move In: The Aftermath
Our two hour drive home afforded Little Miss plenty of time to go ahead and unpack and arrange things, because oddly, her roommate took their sweet time in getting there.
So when we got home we were treated to a few pictures of her finished room.
Naturally how it is now compared to first setup has surely changed (especially the supply of snacks)…
But the spirit of the setup is still the same.
And as I catch up on my “pics to blog” folder and post this near the end of her first year at college all I can say is, I bet this is probably how she arranges her workspace next year too, or at least close to it. She’s found something that works for her and I don’t see that changing much.

College: Waving Goodbye
And with that, it was time for us to roll out toward home.

College Move: Photo Op!
Have to pose with the mascot statue before we leave, right?
And then I’ll get in there on that too.

College Moving Crew
With goodbyes said and the van packed it was time to set out on the two hour drive.
Now, the instructions very clearly said everyone was supposed to park at a certain spot on the street near her dorm and unload quickly into bins and then the driver was to go park somewhere and return to help as desired.
Well, when we got there the space was super limited on where to park per the exact address where we were supposed to park, so after circling the block twice I said heck with it and found the closest parking garage and parked right then.
So we first had to trek to her dorm and get the big bins they were sharing with everyone for move day and then walk them back to the van and fill them… and then walk them back.
This actually seemed to work out in our favor as then we all stuck together easily and there was no ‘hey, where can we meet back up’ conversations.
We were right on time for her allotted move in time but her future roommate was nowhere to be found. That was a nice bonus as it let her claim the side of the room she wanted.
