In addition to planning for our baby, we have had quite a busy spring due to Bart being such an awesome scientist. This past weekend we were able to go to Philadelphia and attend Bart's official graduation and hooding ceremonies. It was really fun to go back and see our friends and the places we used to live. It was also a good opportunity to close out that chapter of our lives. We took several other pictures and I got some videos, but for now I will leave you with a few teasers of Bart in his robe getting hooded by his advisor Drew.





In other exciting news, Bart got the bound copy of his dissertation in book form! You'll have to ask him what it's like to be a published author.

The room is almost done--we just have one more row of dotted lines to do and then we will post pictures of the whole thing! Who knew painting could take this long? Sorry the pictures are fuzzy--we took them with our phone.



Thanks everyone for your cards, gifts, and calls for my birthday. It feels good to know that I am loved!
