Can you find him in the crowd of engineer grads?

Brent's always told me he wants bagpipes at his funeral and here they are at his graduation, I guess he gets them at more than one milestone :)

Porter got to stay up late so he could see his daddy graduate. Honestly it was a pretty boring experience for him, as we guessed, but an important thing for him to be at. We hopes this helps him realize the importance of a good education. He's been talking about it a lot lately so I think he got the idea. :)
