Matthew Graduates Medical School!

We headed down to Norfolk for the EVMS graduation festivities!

The view from our room was spectacular!

We attended a reception then took the graduate out for supper.

The next day we enjoyed a lengthy ceremony.

Processional, with the requisite mace...

Dr, Matthew Thompson

Taking the Hippocratic Oath

Proud parents

The confetti was abundant.

We were told prisoners on work release got to clean it up later.

Don't break the law, kids.

Congratulations to the whole class of 2015!

Spring is here and the sun has returned

Lucy's concussion is resolving and her gymnastics pals were so glad to see her again.

Spring cleaning finds Luke and Joshua visiting the rooftop gutters.

With the return of Grace and James, comes also the return of piano music, well-played.

A certain 4 year-old is very happy to see his big sister back at the compound.

This image requires some explanation: The Captain and Tennille are "splitsville"

Just kidding. Luke and Hannah and friends made a music video for school as a parody

of material-obsessed teenagers who spend too much time and money at the mall (BASIC).

Yes, it is on YouTube.

I'm BASIC!
