Tired, but happy, and never to be an undergrad, ever, ever again.

There are so many things (and pictures) that I have to post, but I am a little tipsy and a lot tired and it has been a long, hot, happy day, so here are the highlights:

• My mother referred to me as her "little graduate," to a total stranger.
  
  
• Lunch after graduation with my parents, my children, my best friends, and my favorite professors.
  


• Being announced as "Neil" when I walked on stage. (I corrected the announcer, but too late.)
  


• Matilda brought me flowers (really from Tim and Andrea, but have I mentioned how in love with floral bouquets my daughter is?)
  


• Freya playing with Tim and referring to him as "my daddy" over and over again.


• Planting my new Lilac tree in the front yard (a graduation present from my parents.)
