This post is going to be pretty picture-heavy, but we have had a lot to celebrate the last week or so.
Maggie had her 4th birthday on Friday. She already had her birthday party the weekend before, so it was definitely a low key day.
We decorated her chair for her and she had donut holes for breakfast.
What a goof!
She's clearly tired - it was before 6 am when we celebrated because Brian had to leave for a work meeting and didn't want to miss seeing her.
Probably wishing for a unicorn :)
My twinsies
She brought in treats to school that day - and I got this picture from her teacher, Mrs. Fredde
They were getting ready to sing happy birthday to her!
After school we went to Chuck E Cheese for about an hour - the kids got 20 tokens each and they left with a couple pieces of candy. I'd say it was a successful trip to CEC!
Maggie continues to love this horse ride. I think it's funny that she's a blur in this picture because she still doesn't weight much - so she has to REALLY rock back and forth to get the horse to gallop.
A quick picture with Chuck E Cheese himself!
On Saturday morning, we got a baby sitter for the kids and Brian and I spent all day in Lawrence for my doctoral graduation ceremony.
I had a School of Education ceremony in the morning at Allen Fieldhouse and then an afternoon hooding ceremony at the Lied Center. Both ceremonies took about 2 hours - it was a long day!
My side of the family were able to make it up for the morning and then Brian's parents came in the afternoon. I got some beautiful flowers and felt very special!!
It was about 100 degrees in the gymnasium, and with the robe and hat, plus clothes - I was sweating!!
The Dudley gals
Chad was there too, but as luck would have it, felt sick and spent most of the time in the bathroom.
He thinks it's because he's a Mizzou fan in Jayhawk territory. Who knows?!? :)
My proud hubby!
We went to a wonderful lunch (thanks Mom!) and then said goodbye to the Dudley side.
We went straight to the next ceremony.

Here I am with my advisor, Dr. Greene, and a fellow Doc student, Ben Timson, waiting for the procession to start.
This building was air conditioned, thank goodness!
After the final ceremony
Then the Teson's took me out to dinner back in KC (thanks Marvin and Kathy!), and we headed back home. What a fun and exhausting day, but obviously worth it!
The Thursday before that, Brian and I had our 20 week sonogram done.
The kids were super excited to know whether Baby Teson #3 would be a boy or girl.
It's a..... BOY!
Both of them were jumping up and down in excitement!
(the blue icing got everywhere, just in case you were wondering!)
So it looks like the tiebreaker went to the boys!
Maggie and I will have to stick together - we can handle it!
Thanks for everyone's well wishes and prayers - we have so much to be thankful for!
