Another Doctor in the Family

Wow!  First Daddy, then your Uncle Mark, then Aunt Dayna and Uncle Luke and now your Aunt Melinda has joined the ranks as a full-fledged PhD doctor!  FIVE doctors in the family!  I know it was partially the pregnancy hormones, but my eyes were filled with tears of pride watching your Aunt Melinda walk up for the hooding ceremony.  She was the only PhD candidate in her entire Communications College!

You, of course, were there too, and Aunt Melinda is so proud of you already and excited to meet both you and your Beckmer cousin! 

You two will practically be twins, so Aunt Megan and I thought it was only fitting that we be twins too.  :)

It was a quick visit down to North Carolina for the celebration, but it was filled with family, food and lots of fun.  It was so good to see everyone!  (We missed Uncle Mark and Uncle Daniel though.)  Next time we all get together, you will be there to meet them all in person!
