Michael Escalante, MBA Yale University

I'm so proud of Michael for earning his MBA from Yale.  We have had such an amazing experience in Connecticut and are so grateful for all of our experiences the last 2 years.

Here are some pictures leading up to and including his graduation.

A post-finals party with some friends

Dominic was dancing like crazy at the party.

We took Michael's mom, dad and step-mom to Pepe's Pizzeria-a New Haven tradition
(His dad and step-mom pictured here)

We took Michael's family for a tour of Yale campus.  It was fun to see all the decor in anticipation for graduation

Yale's iconic clock tower

I'm going to miss this gorgeous campus

We were able to sit in on a musical concert hosted by some AMAZINGLY talented students from the music school

THE BIG DAY! GRADUATION!


(Sadly the humidity did quite a number on my hair that day-but I still love this photo)

The little guy couldn't handle all the excitement and crashed half way through the festivities

Michael and Dominic's names were both announced as they walked across the stage to receive Michael's diploma from the Dean of the Business School.  (Dominic is very well known among Michael's classmates)



Dominic got to sit with his Papa for a bit while the remainder of students received their diplomas.

We are so proud of Michael!

This is one proud mother

I love Dominic's face

And this is where I post lots of pictures of my adorable family.
 

 










Following graduation festivities, we walked around campus some more before heading to Lighthouse Point.

Couldn't pass up this photo op.  Love the colors.

We are all so proud of Michael for his hard work!!  Congratulations Michael!

  1. Hey Jodi,
    Somehow, I missed this post. Great photos and memories of a great moment for all of you! Congratulations! Hope you are enjoying your summer in Utah. Let me know when you'll be back. I think we are going to be in Boston late in July, but I think you probably will still be out West.
    We miss you all!
    xoxo
