Medical School Graduation

This past weekend Mikey officially became a doctor.  The celebration started with the hooding ceremony Friday night.  The graduates marched in and the students that had had a baby during medical school walked in last, carrying their child.  Then all the families went on stage and each baby received a silver baby cup with their name engraved on it.  Isaiah LOVED his cup! His teeth marks are all over it.

After the baby cup ceremony, we then sat back down and prepared for the hooding portion.  I walked back up with Mikey, along with Isaiah to put his hood on him.  During that part they read a statement that Mikey had written and said where we are headed.  They were all very special to listen too.  Isaiah did SO good that night!

Saturday morning was the baccalaurate service.  It was a formal worship service honoring the graduates.  Right when the organs started playing, Isaiah was mesmerized!  He just loved the music.

Saturday afternoon we had a group graduation party with all our friends.  It was so much fun.  All of the girls met through our Bible study.  We have been friends now for four years.  I will miss them all so much!

Most of Mikey's family flew in to celebrate with us :)


Very good friend Katie, I will miss her!

Diploma in hand!

Isaiah even got to meet his great grandma Brown.  She came all the way from Tennessee.  It was very special to have her there, especially since Mikey's grandfather graduated from Loma Linda 56 years ago...


Everyone together!



I couldn't be more proud!  Congratulations Dr. Brown!

Our friends from church threw us a going away party! It was the sweetest thing.  There were about 15 young kids running around.  Notice the green for Greenville :)
