It is done! Congratulations Daddy, we are SO proud of you!
Yesterday Alex successfully defended his thesis and he now has completely earned his PhD in Chemistry. We are nostalgic as we look back over the last 4.5 years - what a journey! We will miss the graduate school days, but we know there are exciting times ahead as well...
Not only did Alex complete his graduate degree, but he became Daddy to two little girls as well in the past 4.5 years. As I sat listening to his seminar yesterday, I realized that most people don't have a family in grad school and that he has done a wonderful job balancing work and family these past years...not only has he learned exciting things about solar panels, but he has also learned how to change diapers, put fussy babies to sleep, play dolls, put in pony tails, etc, etc. Perhaps this was a dual degree...
We love you Alex!
We went on a little walk before dropping him off...
He looks pretty confident...?!
Opening the champagne at home after all is done and babies are in bed...
Last family picture during the "grad school years!"
Good job Daddy! Getting these tights on without wrinkles this morning was probably more difficult than your seminar...:-)
Haha..and you thought solar panels were tough...I got some news for you!
