Guess where I'm going today? I'm going with my mommy, dada, Grandma, Pa, Uncle Gabe, Aunt Stacie, Austin, Isaac, Ethan, Lucas and PaPaw Shockley to Cape San Blas! We are going to stay there for 2 nights and go out on Dada's boat to look for scallops! My mommy says that it's so pretty there...like Old Florida, whatever that means. But I'm
excited! 
Having a fun time hanging out with Ethan and Daddy
Ethan, 4 years
Isaac, after a dozen chocolate chip cookies and his first missing tooth!
"How old is Lauren?"
"Oh, wow. What are these things? They're so neat!"
Lucas, 2 years, with is Mommy
Daddy is a master scallop-finder!
On Saturday afternoon, Mommy left Lauren and Dada to drive to Tallahassee to meet Gigi and Aunt Kay. We've had a hotel reservation for months in preparation for BID day and the day before classes start. That night we met up with Gigi's college roommate and her son and daughter (both students at FSU). Kendall, Kathy's daughter, is also a freshman and going through Rush with Kaitlin. Crazy timing for these 1970's KD sisters.
BID day...eating Mexican comfort food and waiting for the afternoon. We dropped Kaitlin off at Freshman Convocation and went shopping. Our plan was to go shopping and then back to campus to watch all the "reveals" and were confident that we wouldn't be the only parents present. Or at least we were hopeful not to embarrass Kaitlin! We almost didn't make it back in time...the whole thing was running ahead of schedule! Kaitlin was waiting her turn and texting us "where are you?" We were trying to find a parking space...you can imagine how crowded the center of campus was on the day before the 1st day of class! We got out of the car, hear all of these squeals coming from different girls in all directions and start looking for Kaitlin. She sees us right after she finds out that she got her 1st choice: Kappa Delta! She yells "Mama!" and runs up to us in her green and white KD t-shirt!
I barely had time to get my camera ready for the big moment! I think it was a huge relief that Rush Week was officially over and a decision had been made followed by the perfect reveal...
GGR & KHP...the mama-daughter twin duo are now sisters! :-)

(and just a note: we were definitely NOT the only parents present and blended in nicely! The only problem was that some people thought I was Kaitlin's mom and Gigi was my mom...ha! We know better. We're both her moms! ha. jk...)
