I'm about 2 months behind on this...but, better late than never!
!!!!!ROB FINALLY GRADUATED!!!!!
Officially.
In May we flew back to Cambridge to experience all of the pomp and circumstance that goes with a Harvard Graduation. It didn't disappoint.
We had a great time sharing a lot of our Law School memories with my mom, brother, and sister, as well as Rob's parents--who hadn't been back to Cambridge together since Stan graduated from Harvard as an undergrad!
After finishing all of the official stuff, we took everyone down to the North End for our favorite gastronomical experiences in Boston:
At Regina Pizzeria we got our two favorite pies: the Formagio Bianco, and the Pollo Pesto. After eating our fill everyone could understand why my poor taste buds have been completely spoiled...all other pizzas just seem to pale in comparison to the pizza at Regina's. I guess that's a great excuse to come back and visit!
After filling our pizza-stomachs we took a walk down Hanover Street to fill up our cannoli-stomachs (mine were both feeling very compressed by these 2 little girls sharing the stomach space) at Mike's Pastries.
Then Rob felt his gelato-stomach rumbling, so we stopped at our favorite gelateria and made sure that we were all COMPLETELY stuffed before finally heading home for the evening.

| Paul and Nancy Dredge, Stan and KK's friends from Harvard, were kind enough to host us at their Arlington home "Bonnyview." |
Day 2 of our whirlwind trip was full of revisiting Harvardian memories--from the 1960's to 2010!
Stan and KK enjoyed riding the T again, which brought back some of KK's old commuting memories.
They showed us a few of the places they lived when Stan was an undergrad there. And KK even got a few pictures of some of the Harvard Yard squirrels that used to give her the evil-eye as she'd walk to the T stop in the middle of winter wearing her grandmother's old squirrel coat.
We gave them a tour of the Law Library--Rob's home away from home--and made sure to get a picture of the specific spot where he'd study on rainy days so he could dry out his socks and shoes on the radiator.
We had a great trip. And even though it's really nice to have a positive income now that we're done with school, we really miss all of the fun times and great friends we had in Cambridge.

Congrats to Rob!! Looks like graduation was fun and hopefully not quite as hot as last year. ;-) Hang in there during this last month of pregnancy - the baby (or babies in this case!) is totally worth it. :-)
I can not tell you have HAPPY and GIDDY it makes me to see you pregnant....it's adorable!!!! I think this is the first REAL pregnant picture I have seen. And, I'm pretty sure I looked a lot bigger than you and I only had a 7 pound baby in me. I can't wait 'til these babies come!!!! And, I am so curious how long you are going to go. Twins often come a few weeks early, right? So, it could technically be any day now. I hope you'll have LOTS of help the first few weeks, or months. You are a champ and were made for this!!!!!
Oh, and congrats to Rob.....that's awesome!
its about time you posted again slacker. that is so neat that so much of your guys's family made it for the graduation. and can i just say- CUTE HAIR!!!
Congrats! I love your tummy (and your hair). Cambridge misses you guys. Good luck with everything.
Congrats to Rob (and you)! That's so nice to be done. We're just up in College Station so hopefully we can see you guys soon.
We heard you're expecting twins so we're so excited for you!
Great picts, nice to reflect on good times. I think it was Wordsworth who said "God gave us memories so we could have roses in winter." We make fresh memoreis evy day in Nigeria sicne e don't have winter (just rainy and dry seasons). Glad to have you guys in Houston. It is still true that if yu mess with the Olde Oaks boys (or their wiveis and children) you mess with all of them." That's a lot of people, almost a small army. Raelene and I are excited ot have you back as neighbors: actual neigbors for her, virtual neighbors in my case. All the best Norm and Raelene Hill
So much to say! First, Rob looks very regal with his gavel...maybe he can use it to build a bridge:)?
Second, even though you were strategic Christa, I'm glad we got to see glimpses of your babies' bump!
Third, this place isn't the same without you guys! Congratulations Rob!!
YAY!!! Congrats you guys!! It seriously feels like you guys left ages ago!!! I was still pregnant with Alyssa and she'll be 4 soon. So I guess 4 yrs ago :) that's awesome, good job on all the hard work!!
