Uncle Thomas's Graduation

Doctor Thomas graduated from medical school!  Awhile ago I was thinking to myself how smart Thomas is and then a few days later Paul commented on how he has a really big brain and is basically a walking encyclopedia.  Out of the mouth of two witnesses... so it must be true!  We're so proud of him and looking forward to never paying for medical services again.

We made the quick drive to Arizona for the occasion and got to pass through beautiful El Centro and Yuma.  Oh, and Dateland.  Let's not forget Dateland.  Parker and Kate did really well.  They watched movies while Paul and I listened to TED radio.  Actually, we started off listening to a book called "How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity and the Hidden Power of Character", which sounds really interesting and maybe it's better in print, but not a great roadtrip book.

Anyway, the ceremony was great.  Paul got to hood Thomas, which I thought was really special.  Afterward we ate at Kneaders (!!!) and then went for a quick swim.  Thomas and Angela got some special goggles for Parker and Kate.  They both loved them!  We found out later that maybe Kate's were on a little too tight?









Grandma Trudy gave Parker and Kate these awesome activity books for the car ride home.  They were entertained for hours!

Congrats to Dr Thomas! What a cool honor for Paul to hood his little brother (sounds weird out of context). We've had goggle circles before but I think Kate wins the award! I'm glad your road trip went well! We can barely survive the 20 min drive to church!!!
