May 23--Happy Graduation Chris!!

It was a very big week! Chris finished law school, and there were many celebrations! First, there was a banquet for the graduates and families.  

 
Here is some of the Hamline Law School gang after the banquet.

 
The next night, Hamline put on a boat cruise down the Mississippi River, from St. Paul to the River Flats by the U of M.  It was a fun time.  Here is Chris, getting into the spirit of things. 


 
On the boat cruise, relaxing, and having fun!

Chris got his groove on.  He danced up a storm!

The main event! Here are the graduates, marching in!
 
Everyone was very excited and proud!

The graduation was supposed to be outside on the lawn, but it stormed early on in the day.  So, the graduation ceremony was in the field house.  It was VERY hot.  But, went off without a hitch!

Bill & Jill's Wedding...May 15

 May 15, we celebrated the marriage of Bill and Jill Doyle.  Yes, it is super cute that their names go together so well!
 
 The wedding was at North Oaks Golf Club.  Here we are! Chris was one of the Best Men.  Jenny was 31 weeks pregnant at this time! Fun fun! Crazily enough, there were about 5 or 6 pregnant women at their wedding!
 
 It was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding! Very lucky, since it has been quite the rainy spring so far!
Time for the rings!
You may kiss your bride!

The happy couple! Mr. and Mrs. Doyle!

School Baby Baby Showers

 At Madison, I have had a pregnancy buddy to compare notes with.  Andrea is due just a week or so before I am.  She is having a girl.  Madison was gracious enough to host a baby baby shower for us.  It was a fun time. 
 
Here we are with our cute bellies!

 
The next day, Wilson also hosted a shower.  It was another great time!

 

 We had another baby baby shower at Wilson.  Tanya and her husband adopted a baby boy, James. 



 Everyone was so generous!
