M.D.

Justin John Ernat, M.D.

It rolls off the tongue quite nicely...

On Friday we headed to Chicago for Justin's graduation.  I did not bring Grey with us because I didn't know how he'd do during a ceremony like that so he stayed home with my mom.  And thank goodness I did that because I REALLY wanted him with me but it would have been a really long day for him plus the 90 degree weather didn't help.

The graduation took place at the Civic Opera House.  I had never been to an Opera House before, but it was beautiful inside.

The proud parents waiting for the graduates to come out

The whole fam...These were taken after the ceremony...

Just and Ellary

One proud mama!

And one for Baby E. who will soon be skyping with Uncle Just ;)

After the ceremony Just took us to Topo Gigio Ristorante where we wined and dined on some fabulous Italian cuisine....

And after lunch we headed back to Ellary's apartment...

 We said our goodbyes and toasted to a new journey...

It wasn't easy, but goodbyes never are.

Justin, once again we are so very proud of you.  We will miss you very much, but we know we will see you soon.  You are on one heck of an adventure and I hope you just keep riding the waves wherever they take you.  You are quite an Uncle for Greyson and Baby E. to look up to.  Thanks for always being there for Nate and I and Greyson.

We love you Just!!!

ALOHA!
