<p>I just finished posting on the regular 2013 parents thread, too. Nice to see this one wake up!<br>
Parents Weekend at D’s college is next week, which seems really soon after the trip we all took to the other coast to drop her off, so we won’t be attending. We also agreed months ago that it didn’t make sense for her to come home for Thanksgiving since she has classes on the Wednesday afternoon, so it’s only a four-day weekend and only three weeks before she comes home for a month at Christmas. But December seems such a long time to wait to see her! H and I have a break in early Nov. and we’re seriously considering taking a CA trip… Meanwhile, she is very happy whenever we communicate, maybe about twice a week by phone or Skype, and a couple of texts or emails on top of that. We were all prepared for emptynestdom, but her older brother has come home this year. He’s actually teaching at the HS they both graduated from, and has many of her friends in his classes!</p>
