Kim gets her white coat!


It was  a very special weekend in St. Louis watching Kim get her prestigious white coat! It was a somber yet celebratory ceremony where the Dean of St. Louis Medical School addressed the students and welcomed them to St. Louis and encouraged them on their upcoming journey to becoming a doctor.  The only disappointment was that Shel was not there as he could have participated in the ceremony by putting her coat on. He'll get a second chance at graduation and the coat will be longer.  Ironically, the dean was preaching about how becoming a doctor gives you a chance to help other people, and Shel missed it because he was helping kids in Ecuador. All in all it was a proud moment in our lives!

Love, Julie

That is pretty darn cool.


I also have to say that there is one guy in the background on the right side that looks very excited to have his coat.

I was wondering if that fella in the upper right hand corner was planning on diving into the fountain !! If so,I'm sure that all the white coats would have saved him. Pa Pa and I will be looking forward to the longer white coat in the future.... This is an exciting beginning to your journey. You will always have our love and support. XXXXXXXX
