Pomp and Circumstance and Lobsters

A couple of weeks ago we went to Maine for Michele's sister's graduation from medical school. The whole family was present to celebrate and congratulate Jamie on this accomplishment. Having achieved a doctor of pharmacy, Michele was asked by Jamie to "hood" her at the graduation ceremony. Afterwards, the everyone went to the "beach house" to eat crustaceans (well at least those of us who aren't adverse to eating things with exoskeletons).

Michele prepares to hood Jaimie....
...she is so proud of Jaimie she's floating higher than her...

Jamie's boyfriend Chris gets his moment too...
...he'll make a fine doctor...

Sparked by a false rumor that Sammy would be giving a commencement speech...
...the crowd erupts into spontaneous and thundering applause...

The whole family...
Paul, Jamie, Michele, Stephanie, Sharon, and Mom...

Mitchell's day will come soon too...

The "beach house"...
