Dr. Cervantes

This should be posted a couple of months ago, but I have a long list of interruptions and now I am finally trying to finish it (and sorry for those who had seen these pictures on facebook already).

On May 9th, 2009, was Santino's graduation. Santino's mother, Connie, and sisters, Bianca and Sasha, all came for this big event. It was a great weekend, it was exciting to fill our mind with the fact that Santino had no more school and all those days and nights of studying and working for free seemed to be worth it.

This was taken the night before graduation at the Senior Banquet with Sasha. Santino was being recognized as a honor graduate that evening. Nice Auntie Bianca was taking care of Eli for me at the moment we took this picture. He was a handful that night, he was tired and didn't do well with loud noises, especially when people clapped their hands, in which, they did pretty much the whole evening. Poor Eli (and poor me.)

The graduation ceremony was on the next day (May 9th), at the Rudder Theatre at Texas A&M, on College Station campus. I was in the hallway for the most part of the ceremony with Eli also, but managed to snap a few pictures while Santino went on stage (many thanks to Auntie Bianca again).Please allow me to present Dr. Cervantes.
An attempt to get a picture of all 3 of us, and Eli was tired and he was not cooperating, so he had this funny face. (Oh well, someday he will regret.)

It was such a special day with his family around for his graduation. Santino, we are so proud of you. And we will celebrate again after five years when he finishes his residency.
