Joe has worked really hard and graduated with his MBA in Finance this month. He started taking one class at a time, and 4 years later he is done. I am so proud of him, and how hard he worked. It was hard with kids, and each time we had another, it got that much harder. Joe wasn't really interested in walking in graduation, but after a very small discussion he agreed that it was important for the the boys to see him walk and celebrate his graduation. We hope that our boys will have an appreciation for education and the importance it is for them to get as much education as they can. Joe is really looking forward to not having homework, (classes don't officially end for another 2 weeks) but has already talked about getting his CFA, a Series 7 License, who knows what else. For now we agree, a short break would be good. I am so proud of how hard Joe works, and his insight to getting a higher education so that I can be where we think I should be, at home with our kids. Way to go Joe!
Here are a few pictures from graduation.

Kyle taking pictures during the graduation. I wish I could have seen all the pictures he was taking and how things looked from his point of view, but when I check his camera they were all deleted. He would take a picture and say, "That was really a good one!" or "Wow great shot!" After the ceremony we caught him taking random pictures of people who were poised for other cameras.If you listen you can hear them says Joe's name!

I know how hard it can be to not see your husband because of school. You deserve a big hand for supporting him through those 4 years too! Way to go Janette! I tell Tim I earned that Master's just as much as he did.:)

Janette's name should be on that MBA degree as well for taking care of the boys when I was studying. She was a huge help and I want to thank her too. I love you Janette and thanks for helping me get my degree for us.
