I am not a blogger so forgive me if I'm not as good as Verenice. I am finally a college graduate. Hurray! Last Sunday was my graduation from Linfield. We went to the McMinnville campus for it which was weird because I had never been there before. I had to show up early for a graduation meeting and had no idea where to go. The day went really well. Mom, Dad and Grandma came and so did Verenice's parents. Afterwards, we went over to Nathan's and hung out with "baby Owen" as Eva keeps saying. She's been pretty stuck on him for the last couple of days. We might have to go to Salem again soon to see him. The last picture of Eva in the fountain was from the day before. We all went to a pizza party for the Health Sciences majors. It was nice, the family finally got to meet my professors and a few of my classmates. After the party the real fun began when mom and dad wanted to check out Linfield's Portland campus. The street car runs right by it and we all hopped on to see where it would take us. We ended up at a fountain in the Pearl District. The fountain floods the area and then drains just to do it all over again. There were a ton of kids and Eva loved it. She got soaked and we didn't have any extra clothes or a diaper. We had to dress her in just her pants and a hoody for the ride back. No one wanted to hold the diaperless Eva on the way back to the car.

Nice job Matthew! Congrats on graduating.

I can't believe you didn't fight over who GOT to hold the diaperless Eva. Who needs those things, anyway?

Congrats, you guys! That's a huge accomplishment. I'm glad you were able to have a little party to celebrate. I love the family pic with Eva holding the tassel. So cute!

Congratulations! You both are really inspiring to be working so hard to go to school with your busy Eva! I hope we go to Oregon soon because I really think our Eva's would have a lot of fun together - my Eva is jealous that your Eva got to play in a fountain.

Congrats!! And great blog, Matt. You should do it more often. The picture of Eva is so funny. I used to take the little German girl to that fountain before I had Meg. We should all have lunch there some time this summer.

Congrats Matthew - We are so thrilled for you, and all your future has in store. We had a great time hanging out and taking the trolley. We barely made it back in time before they quit for the day because of the Starlight parade... and Yeah "baby Owen" - I can hear Eva say it over and over so cute!
