Happy Graduation!

Rob graduated with his Master of Divinity degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (Magna Cum Laude, no less!) on Saturday. Four years of hard work (and triplets, no less), it was a day to which we all looked forward. To celebrate the occasion, Rob's family (Nanna, Poppa, Granny and Uncle Raymond) came up from Virginia. It has been a wonderful visit. And as always, they have been a tremendous help. Winston, Charlie and I came down with a nasty cold and fever. Their care allowed me to sleep off my fever and recover.

The processional (Rob missed me yelling "Robbie! Robbie Robbie!" like some paparazzi.)

Nanna and Grammy with Wes and Charlie. (Poppy spent the entire ceremony outside the hall soothing a screaming Winston. Thank you Poppy!)

We had a small celebration for Rob afterwards. It will come as no surprise, but when asked how he would like to celebrate, Rob said, I just want to eat barbecue and hang out with friends and family. And that is what we did.
