Duane's Promotion

Six years to the day after pinning on Captain, Duane pinned on Major.  We were happy to have Duane's Mom, Dad and brother Doug fly in for the occasion.  After the short ceremony, we had a lunch catered by a local bbq restaurant.  I am proud of Duane for all he has accomplished.

Hmmm, someone may have forgotten to thank someone...

I will treasure this photo because it is not often that a smile like this is captured in a photograph.

Playing Catch Up

So, I've really been a slacker when it comes to blogging.  Our computer died and I got motivated to update the blog using our new Mac computer which is a lot of fun.  Here is a quick overview of the last few months!
