I'd like to dedicate this post to Jessica, for graduating and attaining her PhD! It's been a long road, and lots of hard work, but you've made it! I'm so proud to have a sister-in-law that has been able to do so many great things!
Dr. Jessica Russell Colantonio, Ph.D.

After she gave her one hour talk, her lab set up a party for her with tons of food, drink, and dessert.

she works with fish....so it fits...

Jess' family



Isabella was attacking the balloons all during the festivities

After the celebration at the lab, everyone trekked down to Westwood where we had dinner at BJ's. Here Mom and I took a picture with the lights of Westwood in the background. It was a busy night and we got to park atop the strip.
Congrats Jess on everything that you've done. And like Kent said, "Their loss is Harvard's gain!"
