What is up in Erie, PA

I should probably explain all of these photos since this is a big post. Smitty got his white coat on Saturday. I think this was more for the family and friends, but the guys were good about posing for photos. Smitty's parent's and brother Michael flew in late friday night (my birthday, i'm twenty freaking seven now) to come for white coat. There are about 250 students at the ceremony. I am so proud of smitty for getting this far, just sitting there in the room and listening the speeches, and thinking about how much longer we have, just all seemed worth it. He also got some new equipment about a month ago plus they school gave him a really nice stephoscope so tonight while I was video chatting with my dad he checked my ears, throat and his parent's eyes.

I have been working a lot lately (thank goodness) so I have been slacking on my craft projects and blogging. But last week Smitty's friend, Kyle came over and made us a fantastic meal of live lobsters and pork tenderloin with his family's secret sauce (which was delish) I bought the lobsters the day before. they picked them out of the tank and put them in a big plastic bag, I put them in the back seat of the car and when I was sitting at a red light they escaped, and started walking across m backseat. I am sure I looked like a crazy lady.
there goes feisty! big mama and bob are already in the tank

and the post would not be complete until the cat photos appear! I was putting her food in the tupperware and she just started helping herself. I think her eyes are bigger than her belly!
