What's Up Doc?!

My mom is real SMART. She is also an inspiration- at the age of...well, I won't say, but after raising four kids, my mom went back to school and graduated with her Ph.D. in Educational Policy and Leadership.  She worked full-time while going to school and of course, got outstanding grades and passed her boards with distinction.

We all were able to be there to celebrate and congratulate her on her big day.

Putting on her special robes...


Lindsey came back from school for the holidays and just in time for Mom's big day.  She and I...waiting for the ceremony to begin.


Grandma also came down for the weekend...and thanks to her we got to sit in the VIP section.

It's hard to see, but here is Mom getting "robed" with her fancy Ph.D. hood.
 

She was one of only 4 people to receive their Ph.D's that day.

Grandma and Mom- SO PROUD!


 
It was a wonderful day! David had also flown in for the weekend so Mom could have all of her kids there.  Congratulations Mom!
