Convocation

Yippee!

Nicolas received his degree yesterday at the University of Alberta's convocation ceremony. It was a proud moment for us all. His grandmother came from Vancouver to attend the ceremony, braving the winter weather (which is still very mild). Preston Manning was awarded an honorary degree and he gave a wonderful speech urging the graduates to be beacons of ethical principles.  
Reuben was able to sit on the stage and be the first to congratulate Nicolas.

I've never seen Reuben in his robes. I think he looks great!


We had a wonderful time and in the evening we all went out for a celebratory dinner.
