PETER GRADUATED!!!!!!
PETER GRADUATED!!!!!!
i am so so so proud of him! 4 years, many sleepless nights studying for tests and dealing with difficult patients, and he is finally done! to help us celebrate and join in all of the graduation ceremonies, peter's mom, dad, brother, sister, and nephew came out to new york for the week. we had a very busy, fun-filled week . . .
on wednesday, may 20th was columbia university's commencement ceremony. it was a VERY hot day, and the ceremony was outside in columbia's square just below the library and alma mater statue. the setting was really magnificent and dramatic. and even though it was hot, it was beautiful and it was so fun to see peter sitting there with his harry potter costume and waving a giant blown up toothbrush!
after the commencement ceremony on wednesday, we went to peter's graduating class awards ceremony. peter, being the stellar student he is, won two awards, one of which was for leadership and the other was for his excellence in pediatrics. good job, peter!!!
on thursday, may 21st, was the dental school graduation where peter was hooded with his lilac colored doctoral hood. it was a really neat ceremony as well, and they even had author jeffrey sachs speak.
and then friday, saturday, and sunday were filled with fun, fun, fun! we went to storm king in upstate new york, did a ton of shopping, saw guys and dolls on broadway, and ate at lots of yummy restaurants.
oh yeah and on friday we also found out that . . .
IT'S A BOY!!!!!!
