He (We!) Made It!

Well, after an intenive 20-month MBA program at Michigan State, Nathan is now an MBA graduate.  WAHOO!  We all made it.  It was very challenging and we are glad to be able to now reconnect as a family.

The girls were saying "GO STATE"

We were fortunate to have Grandma Ann and Uncle Brad come to visit.

Someone made me get in for a picture :)

We made it!

While I was out trying to get Bennett to nap, Maya fell onto the row in front of us and her top 2 teeth cut into her bottom lip.  Poor thing was bleeding pretty badly and was exhausted.  She fell asleep after we cleaned her up and went back into the ceremony.
Look at this cute little graduate.  He is the best thing that came out of this journey!

Such a relief for all of you! We are so excited and proud of Nathan for his hard work and for you for working so hard being super mom. Now if Nathan could work 8-5, life would be even better!

So happy he finished and so proud of him. Great job Nathan, you're awesome. Now if you guys can find him a new job that appreciates him and lets him work reasonable hours, life will be so much better. :)
