Penn State has the fierce Nittany Lion, University of Maryland has the ferocious (?) Terrapin, and Mary Baldwin has the undeniably furry, and um, fighting Squirrel!
Friday we took Cearra and Shay to MBC to officially become future freshman and pre-register for classes, sign up for dorm room assignments, and cruise the bookstore for car stickers and hoodies.
Mary Baldwin is a private, all-women's college nestled in the rolling hills of Shenandoah Valley. It's a beautiful campus - all stately old buildings and huge trees. Everyone we met, from current students to teachers to campus security was welcoming. The student body totals about 800, and all the classes are small and really student centered. The professors and administrators make a point to get to know each and every student and I think it's an environment in which Cearra will shine. We are so proud and excited for her!
And oh, the story behind the rather unusual mascot? The college is named for a past president - Mary Baldwin herself - and her family crest contained a squirrel.

Thank you so much for the update Jodi. I can't believe Cearra is ready for college. Seems like just yesterday she was Owen's size. Also, thank you for being such a caring, patient, loving influence in her life. You and Bobby both have given so much of yourselves to provide Cearra with the opportunities she is so deserving of... Especially the opportunity to be a 'big' sister.
love, Mom/Nanny
What a beautiful looking campus. I'm glad Cearra has found a place that she feels comfortable to continue her education. I hope she and Shay have a great 4 years. Also, love the new picture of Cearra and Owen.
Go Squirrels!
Love,
Kris
