It was a totally awesome, highly anticipated day. We wore our finest doo-dads and got ready to clap and cheer for good-ol-dad. I asked Max what he was going to say when they called Dad's name, and he said, "I will yell, 'yay dad!'
We had a really good crowd there too, so it wasn't difficult for us to make a LOT of embarrassing noise when it was Tyler's turn.
As he walked across the stage, each person that greeted him asked if he had a lot of family in the audience...it was pretty obvious. 
There was so much build up and anticipation (hello...10 years!) that I have to admit I was a bit teary and my "Yays!" were a little choked.
Tyler was fortunate to have his Supervisor, Gordon Fick as part of the procession, so they shared a hug on stage.
It's pretty awesome to go to a graduation for a PhD recipient. They get to go first, there's a lot of pomp, and they get to wear super goofy clothes. 
Everyone took a turn wearing Tyler's hat for a picture. (Except Lucy, she was too shy).
Then it was off to Tony Roma's for a huge dinner celebration. 30 guests. We pigged out on all-you-can-eat Ribs...which Lucy especially enjoys!
