Our oldest son Ben Eastman graduated today from Ferris State University with his B.A.S. in Digital Animation. Right to the end we weren't sure how it was going to go with his grade point average.

I looked in the Commencement program printed off and there's Ben's name with a "Cum Laude" right next to his name. I thought "did he really get it after all?"

Sure enough Ben was in the back lining up with the rest of the grads and he calls Chris who is sitting with us (Chris is home on Christmas break). "Chris they just gave me my cords!"

Theresa and I could hardly stand it.

Tim it looks like your parenting skills keep paying off, but as we all know it also takes alot of hard work on there part.
