way to go, laura boo!

yes, we actually called her laura boo bear when she was teeny tiny. and yes, she actually GRADUATED last night. it was great. we brought ava and ace up in strollers b/c me the brainiak who has gone to ic my whole life and was a teacher there for 3 years didn't recall that there was nursery available for little tikes. but, oh well. it was more fun to have the kiddos out and about. my mom and dad stayed out with us and (us being: mike, nic, ava, me, and conrad stinker pants...nathan had to walk with the teachers.....he he he!) they walked around a little.

here are just a few pics of the fabulous occasion.

well, mostly fabulous. mike got a hold of my camera. what a turkey!

hey, keep those kids quiet, would ya? my parents take their grandparental privileges way too seriously.

yes, at one point i caught these two fooling around in the chapel. kids!

connor was very excited about this milestone.

hey, laura can i keep this? no. can i eat it? no. can i eat your hair? no, hey quit eating my hair! (he really was trying to eat her hair, i just missed it.)


hey, quit picking your nose! seriously, i thought i raised you better than that!
