It's coming...leaving the nest



Caitlin will be off to college soon! She received her first semester class schedule in an email, along with links to building locations and professors. Her first Biology discussion session is with the professor for whom I was a summer intern back in 2001.

We also attended our area's sendoff party for first-year Hope students. She was able to meet some of her future classmates; one guy has his own web-designing business and is teaching himself Japanese. She even won a door prize-a Hope travel mug.

The sendoff was at a picnic shelter in Farmington Hills. There was a birds' nest in one of the rafters with baby birds in it (see photo above). They were pretty much overflowing the nest, so they must have been very close to leaving the nest, too (just like my baby). As I took a picture, the mother bird flew in to feed them and I got the shot just as they opened their mouths. I really like this picture; I wonder if the mother bird will miss her babies, too.
