We took some photos w/ family and friends before the class photo:

Ellis had fun showing Mac some of the Medical School buildings:

Meanwhile, Mac had fun crawling around...
Picking wild flowers...
And eating them, of course!
Next, we moved into the chapel for the hooding ceremony and the Hippocratic Oath:

Our family arrived late Friday night, and we enjoyed a full and lively house for the weekend. Lil' Mac loved the chaos and noise of having so many people around, and he especially enjoyed the quality time time to play with his cousins.Mac & EJ had fun demolishing the kitchen before breakfast:
Sweet Bella took a nap in the big bed:
We had cake and celebrated Dr. Ellis Boisvert Johns!
EJ & Reed were ready to help cut and serve the cake

Mac & Bella enjoyed eating in the high chair section:
The weekend came to a close with the Duke University graduation ceremony on Sunday morning and the special Duke Medicine graduation ceremony in the afternoon. The most exciting part of the whole weekend was when Ellis received his diploma and was announced officially as "Dr. Ellis Boisvert Johns." (No, Ellis did not tell them how to pronounce his middle name).
