Andrew's Graduation!

Andrew's law school graduation ceremony was Saturday evening, May 12th.  

Luckily, it was indoors :)

And also luckily, I had lots of help with the girls.  Even outnumbered by adults as they were, they managed to help me loose my sanity by the end of the ceremony.  

Aunt Lisa was very patient in making multiple bathroom trips with them.  

And the school passed out coloring supplies on our way in, which helped keep Eve and Halle occupied.  Abigail and Cora, not so much.  

Here he comes!

The ceremony was quite good, including the speakers, and we were so patient in waiting all the way until the almost end for Andrew's turn.  And then I missed it!  I was so busy trying to snap pictures, I didn't actually get to see him be hooded :(  I was so disappointed!  But proud!!

Those were the best I captured, but thank goodness for professionals!  

Words can't describe how proud we are!!  What an accomplishment! 

The girls were really struggling by the end - it was way past bedtime and they were super antsy.  

It took several minutes to find Andrew afterwards, during which interval the girls were running crazy and doing their best to get lost.  But they were excited when we finally found Daddy!

But wouldn't really cooperate for pictures.  

The whole group!

Yeah.  The girls were done.

Heading back to the car!

We were so grateful for the family who traveled to support Andrew on his big day!

The following weekend was the ceremony for the MBA portion of Andrew's degrees, on Saturday, May 19th, or so we thought.  Andrew and I got all ready, only to discover, the ceremony had actually been the night before and we'd missed it.  We still got Andrew all dressed up and went out with the girls (in their pj's) to capture a few more pictures.  

Countless hours spent at this building over the past few years!

In front of the other side of the law school.  

We don't all fit in one frame anymore!

I've made it very clear to Andrew that he is done with degrees now that he has the JD/MBA.  ;)  

Super proud of this guy and can't wait to see what comes next!  (After studying for and taking the bar, I mean....)
