HE DID IT!!!!!

Introducing Dr. Ahlstrom....

Daddy officially graduated last Friday! We're so proud! He'll continue to work in his lab at UCDavis getting his work ready for publication until the funding is in place for him to start a postdoc at the U of U sometime in the spring. Congrats Daddy - we love you!!!

So to celebrate Daddy (of course) wanted a fried dinner so he had shrimp poppers, curly french fries, mozzarella cheese sticks, corn dogs and fish sticks (and his cholesterol is lower than mine...it's maddening!!)



And we finally got to open our wii!!! We decided last February that his graduation present would be a Wii. We had played it at my parents house and loved how family friendly it was and since Daddy loves electronics and games he can play with others it was the perfect present. The girls surprised him with the Disney princess game and my parents surprised him with extra controllers and Mario Kart (our favorite game). We had a great day!!!

Guess who got a strike!!

Yea Mg!!!

E beat both Mg and I at bowling :)
Poor Mary got to play a few rounds before she got sick to her stomach but we have all had lots of fun playing together. And yes, Daddy likes the princess game (all things considered). He likes multi player games where you work together towards an objective. Granted, he doesn't like dressing up the princesses as much as the girls do but he does like working with them to save the princess kingdoms (isn't using your magic wand to turn bogs into butterflys the same as using Indiana Jones's whip?!) and they've had a good time together. Hooray for graduation and thanks everyone!!!
