I must add my two cents...

Congratulations, Mark! You worked hard. You balanced life well. And you did it! You are a JD!

When I told Peter he is diligent today, he said, "Dad is dilgent". When I asked him why he said, "Because he finished Law School!" I agree, Mark.

Well done!

We Made It!

Supporter #1

We made it.

Jane was done with pictures. Peter was done with Jane's screaming.

With my parents.

With my parents-in-law.

Law school: check!

Haircut etc.

Eva tried to cut the gum out of her hair by herself. She missed.

Jane playing with her friend.

Peter created his own zoo indoors.

Happy Birthday Eva!

It's impossible it was 4 years ago when our
sweet,
thoughtful,
conscientious,
creative,
dress-wearing,
art-making,
letter-writing,
baby-adoring,
beauty,
brought sunshine into our lives.

Posing for pictures.

Silly face.

Blowing out candles

Preparing to devour chocolate cake.

Picture Time

Jane wanted no more pictures.

The Firm

This is where "the firm" is located. Apparently, it's where Ferris' dad worked in Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Never saw him--different elevator bank.

Night Out

Thanks to my MIL, Jill, visiting us in Chicago, we could go to a dinner at the History Museum. One word to describe Chicago in the summer: humid.
