Look who graduated!!!

Look at this boy!!! SO stinking proud of him. The first set of pictures are at the Doctoral hooding ceremony the night before graduation, and the second set are at graduation.

After this (before?) Matt gave a sweet little speech about Dr. Mouw and did an awesome job.  You can watch it here: Matt's Hooding Speech
Dear Dr. Mouw
A proud Mama

And a proud Father

And a HUGE thank you to dear Gary who took pictures all weekend to make me feel like I was there!  (after so many Pasadena trips, we just couldn't afford another and this one had too many childcare issues ... sigh).

It was a wonderful weekend for Matthew. I was SOOOO sad to not have been there, but so thrilled that he graduated! On to the next one in September. Then we ... are ... DONE.
