Dr. Chad

Phew!  What a busy week!!  I was in KC for the first part of it.  I made it back just in time for Chad's mom's arrival.  Sandi was in town for Chad's graduation.  We had a whirlwind weekend.  Wednesday night we took Sandi to Zia's on the Hill for a little St. Louis Italian.  You gotta love Zia's!!  Thursday we hit up St. Charles for a little window shopping in the cute little boutiques there and had dinner at Frazer's.

Friday was Chad's graduation at SLU.  Wow!  What a long, fabulous day!  Graduation started bright and early at 8am.  The ceremony was followed by two different receptions...one for the entire School of Arts & Sciences and the other, the smaller of the two, was for the Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Dept.  Later that night we hosted a dinner for Sandi, my family and Chad's advisor, Dr. Graves, and his wife at Sage.   Here's a few pics of the day.

Saturday we stopped by Rick's for a bit of vino before heading up the River Road to Grafton.  It was a beautiful day for a drive and a glass of wine at Aerie's Winery.  Later that afternoon we went to my mom's for a celebratory dinner for Chad.

Today I'm spending the day working...catching up from being off the last couple of days.  I'm wishing I wasn't spending the beautiful day inside, but it was definitely worth it being off the last couple of days.  Hope everyone has a great week!!
