Two Graduations and One Baptism Later...

It all started on Friday with my Master's Ceremony from East Carolina University. I technically finished my course work in August but had to wait until the December ceremony. I just can't seem to get away from the purple and gold... :)

Cooper LOVED the tassle

Picking up Auntie from the airport and dinner at Olive Garden rounded out the day.

Then Aaron (Sean's brother) graduated from PA school on Saturday. Cooper and I stayed here to let him rest from the long day on Friday while the rest of the family went down to Fayetteville to celebrate with Aaron (and Rachel who also graduated with her Master's in Education but did not attend her ceremony to go to Aaron's). Cooper and I did meet the rest of the family for a Japanese dinner though when they got back to Winston-Salem for the night.



Since all the family was already in town, we decided a while back that this weekend would be the perfect weekend for Cooper to be baptized. He was a star and looked adorable in his tie, if I do say so myself. He totally wowed the crowd at church and "awwww" was said collectively a number of times. He's such a charmer (must have gotten that from his daddy, wink, wink)!
