Daniel's graduation!

Even though Daniel finished his classes for his degree (and got his diploma) months ago, today was the day for him to actually graduate. :)  I got to wrangle all 3 kids at the Chase Center on the Brandywine Riverfront for a couple hours but was more than happy to do it so we could all watch him walk across the stage!

The kids and I got in line early to wait to get into the hall to get our seats and boy was I glad we did. We got really great seats! (And I made sure when we sat down that there was nobody in the row we picked, or the row in front of or behind. That way, people had to "pick" to sit next to the lady with 3 kids.)

And really, for all the waiting that we had to do, the kids were pretty good. Jacob was the best of the bunch. Zach was the grumpiest. Emily was in charge of the goldfish. Seriously, she didn't want anyone else to stick their hand in the bag. We left a small mess.. just to make sure they knew we were there.

Can you spot Daniel?
He was actually sitting a few rows back from us on the other side of the aisle. The boys were tickled that they could see him so easily from our seats. (And I was at our seats when I took this picture. That's how close we were!)

Daniel Peter James Durrbeck!

Walking back by us to get to his seat!
 
Woo-hoo!!!
 
Afterwards we had a tasty lunch at my mom's favorite place to eat by us, Jose's Border Café! YUM!

Ice Skating

This past Sunday we went ice skating with some friends for Jacob (& his friend Andrew) to work on their ice skating belt loop for cub scouts. (Well, Daniel and the boys went ice skating, I put skates on and then held Emily for almost 2 hours while she should've been napping!)

Other than the boys having sore butts from falling they had a great time!
