kaki's graduation

will had a fantastic time in boston this weekend for auntie kaki's graduation from bc law school.  

he prepared for the celebration by putting stickers all over his body.

during the ceremony, we were very busy.
one thing i never fully appreciated during my years at bc were all of the stairs.
oh, the stairs.  

here, he spots them.

he makes a run for it.

he begins the climb.

success!

afterward, will and kaki had a lot to celebrate 

(her degree, his scaling of the stairs), 

so they toasted to the special occasions.

looks like one of them had too much champagne.

all of will's dreams came true the next day when cousin danny came to play.

we got to see baby patrick and uncle andy and auntie erin and grammy and grampy, too.  

will's head almost exploded with joy.

thanks, boston.  thanks, fun elevators.  thanks, ketchup.  thanks, too-yah.
thanks, nice jet blue flight attendant. 

not only did we survive our trip, but we had a pretty good time, too.
