Hard to believe that we are done with school. Yes, 'we'. Andy did most of the school work, but it was definitely a family effort. The kids will tell you, "daddy has to get a job". :) cracks me up. Halle is so proud of her daddy. She keeps saying, "he's all done with school!!" The kids went one year with only seeing their dad on Saturday's and Sunday's. The second year, we dragged them all over NY, getting up early, staying up late, sitting in traffic, buses, subways, missing friends, parties, activities, etc to get daddy where he needed to be. They are real troopers!!
Daddy and his other little PA. Payton has also earned numerous hours giving dolls, Shrek, and teddy bears check-ups, surgeries, and personal care. Luckily, he's stopped 'cutting' babies to get them 'born.' 
If you want and interesting conversation, just visit with these two. Andy and Grandma Lori (my mom). Mom is a nurse and these two love discussing all the 'gross and exciting' medical stories they can. Half the time I have no idea what they are talking about. Mom hates to fly and came out MANY times to help us and visit. 
I told you my man looks good in his white coat. I'm SO PROUD of him and all the hard work he's done. (Of course he couldn't have done it without me) They should give out a wife's diploma? JK :) No one better tell me that PA's don't do a lot. Cause ya'll have no idea. He has worked Hard!
Andy and his parents. I know they join me in being so happy and proud of Andy. There is NO way we could have made it through these last few years without both our parents' help. They have all done more than we can ever give thanks enough for. We are so grateful to have such wonderful family support and love. We owe you all so much! Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!
Andy graduated from St. John's University. Though we wish there would have been air conditioning in the building, it was a very nice ceremony. I think it lasted 30 min. Short, sweet and to the point. If only they could all be like that. We also made some really good friends in school and will miss them and their 'crazy' antics. :)
We did it! It was worth every minute, yahoo!!!

Wow. Time flies when your having fun:) Thats so exciting. Congratulations!!!! Where are you going now? St. George?
Congrats Andy, that is quite the accomplishment. I can't believe we never made it out to NY before you guys moved. Maybe it was the thought of 4 crazies on an airplane! Good Luck in Texas. As Tyler says, "Now they'll be closer to us!" He, He
