Earning a doctorate degree is not an easy task. It is a long and difficult endeavor, and Katie did it! It was a wonderful weekend for celebration as we gathered in Hillsborough to attend her graduation from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Mom and I are very proud of you and what you have accomplished Katie and we know you will have a wonderful, fulfilling career as a pharmacist!
It was great to be with all our family members this weekend; Katie, David and Henry of course, Kelley and Maggie from SC, Sally from Md, and Jim and Linda from Chapel Hill. We began the celebration with lunch at Antonio's, went to the graduation and ended with a picnic at Katie and David's. Saturday was a great day.
Seeing grandchildren is a joy and it was neat to be with Maggie and Henry again. Maggie is growing and developing on schedule. It is hard to believe she was a premie. She is sitting up, rolling over, grasping objects, eating food, and standing up; all new accomplishments since we saw her in early March. Kelley is being a great mom too! Henry is tearing around the neighborhood on his tricycle and scoot. I'm sure he will master a regular bicycle by year's end. Oh, and he is just talking constantly. He is quite the trip narrator when he is in the car. I'm so glad Katie's daily routine eases a bit so she can rest and take care of herself during the last weeks of her pregnancy. We look forward to our new granddaughter arriving in July.
Thanks to all for gathering this weekend and your contribution in making Katie's graduation a wonderful celebration!
