Ryan Graduates from Wharton!

We started off the day with a tour of the Wharton Campus. It was fun to take everyone around and show them where Ryan has spent so much time.


                                      Family and Group shots they did as we entered the school.

Even though they did they "professional" group shot, I really wanted a picture in front of the bridge!

 

Maybe one day Casen will be here :)

              My Dad and I, I don't think I have any pictures of just the two of us since my wedding!

Casen talking with Brian. Later that night at the graduation one of the speakers talked about letting people know you really care. One of the things he mentioned was his wife always bending down to the level of children when she talked to them and how much they loved her for it. I think it was pretty neat this picture was taken just a couple hours earlier. I know Casen loved Brian's act of caring.

Standing in the room Daddy ate his meals at while he was at school. Everything was catered and so he ate most meals at the school over the weekends.

Uber is awesome! It's a taxi service App.... just locate a nearby Uber car, give them a call and they will be there in minutes... then it's all charged to your account! So convenient! This guy had an Escalade and let all 11 of us pile in! Marlee didn't like the idea...

Too yummy not to take a close up picture... I get this habit from my Dad :)

                                                   

Have we seen this pic before? Nope just same place same thing the day before... beat on day #2 as well!

After the school tour and lunch Marlee took a quick nap and then we headed over to the graduation. Brinley and Casen watching for Daddy! My sweet Mom kept Marlee out in the hall most the time which allowed me to actually listen to and watch the graduation. It was so nice!

It's official! Ryan is a Wharton MBA Graduate! Yay! This program has proved to be extremely difficult and I am so proud of all he accomplished over the past two years!

                                             Casen doing the "I Love You" sign to Daddy :)

We survived! Every other weekend apart was not easy but glad we made it through together!

Ryan's friend Jon Do, one of the funniest guys in the class. The kids sure liked him!

Marlee was just 3 months old when Ryan started the program. Sad he has been so busy the past two years. I think she is happy he's done :0

So grateful to our wonderful family who came to support Ryan on this day!

We all got Wharton awards! They realize the huge impact it makes on the entire family and did a special thank you for all immediate family members :)

After graduation the kids headed back to the hotel for dinner and a movie with Andy and Megan! I am so grateful they took them so we could enjoy the graduation dinner with just our parents.



Here are a bunch of quick shots of Ryan with a bunch of his favorite friends from the program. I am continually impressed with the incredible people he has been able to go to school with. So glad he was able to build these friendships. He will have to enter all the names sometime :)

At the end of the night we all talked in our hotel room. My Dad bought Ryan this beautiful Lei, Marlee had the most fun with it. She loves flowers, it was one of her first words.
