My brother-in-law, Allan just graduated from Law School.
At Northwestern they have a tradition where your kids can “walk” with you and they will even read off their names too.
When Sum and Allan heard about this they started thinking….and planning….
And what a plan was hatched!
Check it out, suckaz!
My sister Summer managed to get a cap and gown for all the kids (INCLUDING HER ONE MONTH OLD BABY!!) She figured out how to make the cap from some on-line tutorial.
Did I mention that my sister had a baby one month ago — seriously, let the comments roll, people – this woman needs to hear the following type remarks (she doesn’t have a blog where she can post her fine handy work so feel free to gush right here and right now):
“You have four children and your husband is in law school?! You are my hero!”
“You are a total babe! I can’t believe you just had a baby!”
“Say, what?! You MADE the cap and gown for your newborn! Move over Martha Stewart!”
Also feel free to congratulate my brother-in-law for graduating from law school while being the father of four children etc.
HOLY COW! I just looked at the picture again and I can’t decide who is the cutest: that yawning/screaming baby? My niece Khali with her darling pose? Lincoln with his “cool hand Luke” expression? Atticus’ cap looks totally RAD! My sister and her beautiful hair and then the graduate himself, he looks pretty awesome and pretty proud!
It makes sense that everyone should walk – after all they did this huge thing together as a family.
So, CONGRATS to the whole Pixton clan!

Summer should have been allowed to stand up in the audience with a spotlight on her as everyone walked across the stage! A moment of silence for her would have also been appropriate.
Also, someone blow up that picture HUGE, get a nice frame for it, and hang it in the Pixtonian Institute where everyone can see!!!!

Sam, I love your idea of a spotlight on Summer. I can just see you now, Summy, doing a fist pump as your kids and hubby walk down the aisle. Congrats to you, Allan, and to the Pixton fam! This is a happy, happy time, indeed.
