We're So Proud!!!

Last night we got to stay up late because it was a very special occasion! Daddy had his pinning/graduation ceremony for finishing Nursing School!! Daddy got to sit up on a big stage and everybody clapped for him. Not only did Daddy receive his pin, he also received the highest award - the Dora B. Dewey Outstanding Student Award! Mommy said that they chose him because he was the best student and just best overall. We are so proud of Daddy...even more than that we are excited that he will now have more time to play with us!!

Here are some pictures of the ceremony, with more explanation... This was us sitting in our stroller being good little boys while Daddy was getting his pin.
This is Daddy waiting his turn to go to the front and receive a funny paper that was all wrapped up and for the people to put the pin on him.
This is Daddy actually receiving the funny paper.
At the end of the service they did candle lighting with these funny looking lamps. Then they recited a strange "oath" together. We're not sure what it was about, but we think it had something to do with birds, because they called it a "Florence Nightingale Pledge." As you can see in the picture, Daddy is at the bottom, but also on the big screen!
This is Daddy walking out of the service with our friend Miss Judy. Don't they look all nurse-y?Way to go, Daddy!!
