Graduation

Aunt Ailey graduated from the Masters in Public Administration program at the University of Washington on Friday.  Hazel thought it was only appropriate to take part in the festivities and congratulate Aunt Ailey on her awesome accomplishment.  Also, she doesn't like to be left out of anything.

Hazel thought she would show Aunt Ailey how big she was, but Aunt Ailey had other ideas.  GIVE ME THAT BABY! said Aunt Ailey.

Hazel had just finished crying when this picture was taken because Aunt Ailey told her that she will be spending the summer in Tajikistan and the fall in Kyrgyzstan.  "But Aunt Ailey", Hazel said, "I will be SO BIG when you get back!"

Congratulations Aunt Ailey!  We are so proud of you!
