Dr. Steven Copp!!

Kieryn began her week with a little blanket fashion. She is becoming very attached to her monkey (Nano) and her blanket. She likes to wear it as a dress, cape, and scarf. She especially likes the cape when doing her jumping!

 Although it was a fairly normal week for Kieryn and I, it was a unique one for Steven. He's been very busy preparing for his final defense in order to receive his Ph.D and this past Friday was the big day! Kieryn, Baby 2, and I had a few good luck presents for him. We were so excited for him and proud of all his hard work!

I was in charge of the "snack" spread at the defense, so I made chocolate covered pretzels and served a variety of fruit and cheese/crackers. Simple, but a huge hit.

Steven's topic for his final defense... 

 The defense lasted about 30 minutes and he did a wonderful job of presenting. After his presentation, questions were taken and he answered them for an additional 30 minutes. It made me smile to see him in action! He's definitely doing something he enjoys and has a passion for! After answering questions (with ease) he was further interviewed by his panel for a little over an hour.

 After that, he was happy to report that he'd passed! It's official - I'm married to a doctor!

We had friends over later that night to celebrate and Kieryn was excited to show off her pretty nails. She'd painted them "eek" (pink) just for Daddy's special day! 

We love you so much Dr. (Daddy) Copp and we are super proud of you!

On Saturday, we took Kieryn to a KSU baseball game. Her favorite part was getting to see Willie.

Then on Sunday we enjoyed donuts at Varsity. Kieryn knew just the donut to get... the "boo" (blue) one. She was having more fun than usual, so I couldn't resist taking a few pictures. 

When we got home, it was time to dress up Mickey.... hope Uncle Kevin is ok with a Redskin's Mickey wearing sparkly red shoes and necklaces!

I couldn't help but add this picture after I'd already updated the blog... Kieryn fell asleep at 11:15am. It's now 1:20 pm and she's still out cold...must have been all that sugar from the donuts (in combination with a BUSY weekend)!! Our little sleeping beauty!
