Stanford Graduation

Kevin graduated from Stanford yesterday! It was a great day! The commencement ceremony took place in the new football stadium. It was a little warm but not as bad as it could have been.
Find Kevin!?!

This is the fancy hood you get when you get your Ph.D (I think he looks like a wizard - watch out Harry Potter)

This is at the actual ceremony where they "hood him".

This is Kevin's main advisor, Michael Boskin.

This was another of his advisor's, John Shoven.

This is the "gang" that Kevin worked with: Colleen, Kevin, Shoven, Boskin, Gopi, and Anita. We love you all!!!


The economics department ceremony was much cooler because we were able to sit in the shade. It was in front of the Hoover Tower. Kaitlyn worked on stickers that Grandma Mumford brought for her.

Alyssa kept up her tradition of spending her time smiling!

We're glad we got the chance to visit you guys while you lived there and wish we could have come more. Thanks for posting those pictures.
