Paul ~ Outstanding Senior in Design

I know it has been a while so I'm going to do a couple of posts to back track and fill you in on the events from the last few months.

As Paul was finishing up his last semester in the fall he was asked if he would be able to make it back up for an awards ceremony. The Theatre Department wanted to award him as one of their top Seniors. There was one awarded for acting, managing and design. Wahooo!!! Way to go Paul. He has worked so hard at what he loves to do and I couldn't be more excited for him.

The whole evening was quite the event. The University was taking the Arts out of the HASS Department and starting up the Cain College of the Arts and Dr. Craig Jessop will now be the head of the college. Every Department was show cased on stage and they displayed some of the students work in the museum right next to the concert hall.

Here are some photos from that night!!

Paul's Showcase

Theatre Department: Seussical

Interior Design: Fashion Mix. It looks more like it should be costume design but this is a yearly event that the Professor likes to do and has a couple of students help him with it. The dress lit up ~ pretty cool!!

Music Department: This young man is from the Bronx and has a wonderful voice.

Guest: Audra McDonald. You might recognize her from Private Practice.
She would not hold still long enough for a good picture so this is the best I got.

There he is ~ Outstanding Senior in Design.
What a handsome young man.
At this point we still had no idea where we were/if he would end up going to school for his Masters. We also had no idea that we were about to be parents.

Tender!!

Us and Dr. Craig Jessop

He was thinking about taking the whole sign, I opted for a photo of the sign

Ice sculpture. It looked pretty cool but it's hard to show all the detail in the picture
