2 for 2 - We're Done!

The second time in two weeks we witnessed a child emerge from college as an adult. Karen graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh this past Sunday. To say we were proud parents is an understatement.

Karen's graduates with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Degree. And, she was honored having her living art exhibit photo as the featured piece on the cover of the diploma ceremony agenda. The living art titled "The Temple of Science" depicted ancient scientific figures in an "art in context" project in her second year. The local news also covered the 2005 exhibit with a feature in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Here's the rendering on the cover of the ceremony agenda:

And finally, a soggy start but a fantastic finish. First, the main ceremony was outside. It rained for the 30 minutes or so before the start of the commencement ceremonies. The weather cleared and we all anticipated the arrival of, none other, Bill Cosby. He had the honor of giving the Keynote Address to the graduates, family and friends.
Or, I should say, we were honored to hear Cosby's message of "never underestimate who you are and never believe you are not good enough" through his entertaining personal experience as a young comedian.

And, we are done. We brought the twins into this world and we have done the best we could to prepare them for their own world. A world, we hope, that will be a better place than when they found it. Now, get a job! Save your money. Invest. Buy real estate (I'm looking forward to being their agent).
