Charles officially graduated in August, but yesterday we went to the commencement and hooding ceremony. It was great! I took Reed Baby with me, we picked up Charles's mom, and met Charles's father and stepmom there, and also saw Charles's grandmother. The ceremony was about 2 hours, and Reed slept through pretty much the whole thing! He did startle awake a couple times, but he accepted the pacifier and went right back to sleep. It was great to see Charles get hooded by Dr. Williams. Afterwards we went down to the floor and took some pictures and spoke briefly with Dr. Williams, who really bragged on what an outstanding student Charles was. I talked with a couple other folks and showed off the baby. Then I drove Char's mom back to her place and went to meet up with our families for dinner at Bravo! It's a great Italian restaurant in Bearden. Unfortunately Char's mom was unable to make it to dinner, but we were joined by 2 of my siblings, Rebecca and Joseph, and my dad. It was great. People gifted Charles with stuff and cards, Reed fussed a bit (think he is teething) but then fell back asleep. The food and conversation were great. It was just nice to have everybody come together to celebrate Charles's fantastic accomplishment.
Eventually I will try to post some pictures, including a picture of Charles's graduation quilt!
Everybody have a great day!
