Emily + Indiana Trip

My sister, Emily, graduated from University of Indianapolis on May 2nd. Brian, Colton, and I took a trip to Indiana to celebrate her graduation and visit family. Brian took a couple of days off from work so we were able to spend extra time with everyone.

Emily was graduating with her undergraduate degree- she has another year and a half of grad school and will then be an official Occupational Therapist. Woohoo! This past year was not only her senior year of undergrad, but her first year of graduate school as well. I'm not sure how she does it!

Colton was a great traveller. He got to see all of his grandparents and great grandparents and great great grandparents on the Wake and Dunkel sides of the family. He also got time with aunts and uncles and my cousins. We are so thankful we got to celebrate with Emily and see so many family members! Colton also got to play with my little cousins for a couple of nights while we stayed with them. He loved playing with them! ....and their toys. :)

Here are approximately a million and a half photos from Emily graduating and our visits with family.

Emily Graduates! 
She did it!

Emily and Colton

One of my favorites because it's so random/classy
Colton and his Grandpa Brian
I think my dad is tipping over from Colton's weight in this one...
Colton and his Grandma Candi (I had to crop this one strangely because Dyson was enjoying a piece of cake in the background.) 
Emily and Dana

Colton playing with his Great Grandma Tammy
One of the reasons I had a kid: so that I could use him to attack Dyson
