This weekend, my family and I ...went to Parents Weekend at our eldest son's college, Norwich University in Vermont. Wonderful program for the family, good good, great Fall weather, and A LOT of knitting time in the car...as a rook, my son had a 16 hr leave and then a 28 hr leave, so we traveled quite a bit this past weekend. As a mom, I'm happy to say that our son looks great, seems to be enjoying life as a rook cadet, and all seems well. I enjoyed 2.5 hrs of knitting time each way (15 hrs. in the car), and brought along my knitting podcasts to listen to. My Forest Canopy Shawl is coming along amazingly fast (for me) and I'll be casting on Mr. Greenjeans, for a change of pace. I'm not one to have multiple WIPs usually, but I think I need to. Time to update iPod knitting podcasts for the week, and hopefully I'll download my WIPs into Ravelry.

You must be so proud of your son! Hooray for knitting time!
We have friends who went up to Norwich for Parents' Weekend to visit their son also. Glad to hear your visit went so well and that you could make such good use of car time.

Awwww, love the last pic! Your not-so-little rook's got that "yeah yeah, take the pic" look & your younger boy's go thte "happy to be here" thing going on!
You look so incredibly proud!!

Hi, I just joined the unsocialised knitter's web ring...and found your blog. These pics bring back memories of my college years and visiting my boyfriend (now husband) at West Point. Thanks for being such a supportive mom. Those uniforms (except the ACU's) look exactly the same.
