M has left! It is very sad. We miss her so much already! But we know that this is going to be a great year for her. Right now she is just downtown for the NSLI-Y orientation program. It looks like it's going to be very strict – 10PM curfews every night enforced with dorm checks! We want to get more information from M, including her impressions of the other students, but she is sharing her hotel room with someone else so we don't know anything yet. 

Here are some pics of us saying goodbye to M.

Here also are the goodbyes with the grandparents:

And some pics from the weekend, including dropping by Grandma Sandy's and an impromptu stop at Ft. Reno at sunset:

And this is basically the one photo I took at Dan's party!

A filmed two scenes from her movie on Sunday too! And she heads back to MD tomorrow for another scene, this one with her falling into a lake. She is having a really fun time with the filming.

Here also is a pic of some of the kids from M's program:

There is just so much to write about! I haven't even mentioned N's baseball game tonight. He pitched the first inning – gave up three runs – then had two great hits including an RBI and did some great baserunning and defense. They won! Here is N pitching:

OK that's enough pics tonight.
