Graduation from TEDS
If you want to read more details and thoughts than the mouseover captions, click on the links below.  They're to my blog entries on the subject.  Travel was NOT FUN.  Graduation was good, but long and not family friendly.  Grandparent time was well worth the trip. Lots of fun in the "poo, poo"  All Kate wanted to do was "mim, mim mim" while wearing her "loot, loot, loot"  All that, and technically, I'm not even a graduate.  I'm a Graduon... Yep, had me shaking my head too...

How Graduation finished #1
Final Post after getting home #2


Nani and Grandma put each other on a 5 minute schedule for Owen.  "my 5 minutes is up!!! who gets him next?"
Grandpa LOVED being in the pool with Kate.  She loved it too!!
Graduation day, before the melt-down
The march in...
Pictures with the Graduon and family.  Chicago is windy, trust me...
The lobby of our Courtyard Mariott was a GREAT place to all eat together.  They didn't care and had delivery available from area restaurants... It was good.
She went underwater with Grandpa.  It was pretty amazing.
First swim lesson
She loved just climbing up and down the steps, which were perfectly sized for her.  I felt bad for her knees against the pool side, but she didn't mind!
Daddy joined the fun... She just jumped in and out of the "hot hot hot" and "coo coo coo"
This was actually the night before graduation, the Baccalaureate from HADES... WAAAAYYYY too long...
Back to graduation... enjoying the baby
Can someone say, "oral fixation"?
TEDS... it comes close to pagentry, but not all the way.
Grandpa loved to tickle Kate's feet.  She'd yell "no no no" and then put her feet back to his mouth... Just laughed and laughed and laughed...
I got to sit next to Jon Putnam.  That was nice. Grandpa loves his camera! Pig Tails!!! SOOOOOO cute! Pigtails #2 Unfortunately, Grandma had to hobble around the room, but she still managed to cuddle a lot of grandbabies!
