captain promotion weekend

The weekend of May 28th we had both sets of parents in town to celebrate Matt's promotion!  On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we hung out, played cards, worked on the house, prepared for the party, and played with the babies.  The parents were all able to feel the kids move and hear their heartbeats...it was wonderful to be able to share that experience with them.

On May 30th Matt was promoted to Captain in the Air Force.  The ceremony was done by Col Walker, the group commander and Matt was one of six promoted at the ceremony.  Jannel and Nicole did a wonderful job at putting everything together and making sure things ran smoothly.  Syd, Matt's dad, did the swearing in oath; Mom and Dad removed Matt's old rank; Janet, Matt's mom, and me put on Matt's new rank.  It was a beautiful ceremony and privilege to be a part of it. 

 Once we got home, Matt opened his gifts.  He got some very nice things!

Then it was time to celebrate!  Mom's gift to Matt was the party...and what a great one!  There was tons of food and kegs in the kitchen...everyone had a wonderful time. 

It was a great weekend and a wonderful ceremony!  Congratulations Matt!
