Party Time! Excellent!

We had a party this weekend to celebrate my graduation. For my graduation present, Jess got me a new camera. It's a DSLR, which is different than a regular digital camera. I haven't had a chance to play with all of the settings yet, but here are just a few of the nearly 300 pictures I took this weekend.

The Ivans.

G&G B.

Classic Kate.

Daronius.

Kinda bright, but a good shot.

Being Silly.

Look at the glee in her face after hitting a child (Trin?) with a Frisbee!

Reach for it, Curtisius.

She's cute, huh?

Brynlee had fun playing with Naiya and Trin.

Here they are turning Naiya into a mermaid.

Nice snag, BJ.

Wayne and Heather came, they're our only non-family friends.

Sometimes Calin's throws were a little crazy, imagine that.

Yes, Kate threw that Frisbee at me!

But I got this one!

Hey look, someone else has the camera!

Nice grab!

Kate was my least objectionable subject this weekend.

Yes, an ear may double in size when struck by a Frisbee.

And even bleed!

I'm not sure that's exactly the best way to eat watermelon.

Caught in the cupboard!

Darin being Darin.

Kate being Kate.

Ivan being Ivan.

Naiya and Trin were hiding from me, this is Naiya's face when she realized I found them.

Naiya being Naiya.

Being silly with Curtis.

Mmm...Ice cream sundaes!

Playin' catch.

Kate learned to play catch!

Testing the close-up.

Ivan kept missing the slide as he backed up to sit down.

Pomp and Circumstance

Well folks, after nearly a year and close to 25,000 miles, graduate school has come to an end! I am now Dan Bruderer, MSW (Master of Social Work). Here are some pics from graduation last night (5/11). Now the job search begins (well, continues, I haven't heard back from the school district yet).

We made it!

Couldn't have done it without Jess

She loves me

Master Dan


Of course the diploma won't come for a few weeks
