{Commencement}

Where did the time go?


Wasn't he just a little boy?


How did he learn to do this kind of math?
{Differential Equations}

But he did!
He got A's in all his Physics classes!
(He didn't get that from me ;o)

Jason doesn't want to be on television.
Instead, he enjoys researching and forecasting the weather.
He loved his internship with the National Weather Service at the University's

Jason also likes presenting lessons.

I'm so proud of him.
~
Saturday afternoon we watched Jason, and a little over a dozen more students, graduate from the Atmospheric Science department.
{It's a very difficult major}

During the day, the grounds were prepared for all 2,600 students that will gather again on Sunday for the big commencement ceremony at the University.

...This was Saturday...

...and this...

was Sunday morning!


. . . This weekend . . .
Our youngest of three graduated from college.


we came full circle.


Jason, we love you!

  1. Maria,

    Congratulations to Jason and to you. A big day, to be sure. Meteorology has been a lifelong interest of mine, although, alas, I was pretty much stopped cold by Freshman Calc. I envy Jason his early awareness of what he wants to do in life and his obvious aptitude for it. I wish him the best.

  18. Just look at you and handsome Jason--you are bursting with pride as you should be. I am impressed with his major and his math.

    Tell him to bring some better weather to the Oklahoma/Arkansas region -- too many storms lately.

    I am so thrilled for all of you. You, sweet friend, have a lot going on this spring and summer. I know your cup is overflowing and I rejoice with you.

    Love,
    Dianne
