Graduates, big and small

I walked in the UW graduation ceremony on Saturday, celebrating the 'near' completion of my Phd. It was a beautiful day and a great boost of energy to finish the degree!

She was happy until they drew blood and then sent us over to the Children's ER to run tests. Strep Throat, poor girl! Lily provided comic relief by being a total goofball.
