Adam's Graduation

We kicked off the graduation festivities with a math department reception on Saturday morning. Adam won an award for being awesome at math!

We had a big family dinner at Gullifty's, a fun restaurant in Squirrel Hill, to celebrate on Saturday evening.  The main graduation ceremony was on Sunday afternoon.  Claire wore her Pitt gear in honor of the occasion.

Since Pitt is such a big school, only PhD students get to walk. After they did their thing, and of course plenty of speeches, the class of 2012 was officially pronounced alumni. This weekend was Claire's first time out of the house, besides church and the doctor, and she couldn't have behaved any better. We are blessed with a baby that really likes her sleep.

Before everyone went their separate ways, we snapped a family photo in the backyard. Since, as I mentioned earlier, half of Adam's siblings will be living abroad next year, this weekend was our last time together for a while. 

Now that Adam's a college grad, he's got the next two months off before he starts work. It has been really, really nice having him at home so far. I actually feel like I can get stuff {besides feeding Claire} done again. I could get used to this!
