Daddy's Promotion

Daddy's Promotion, originally uploaded by brookiej1.

What an exciting morning! We got to *see* Daddy & be a part of his promotion -- we were there via VTC. It was so special. We are thankful for all the people who helped us make it possible. Abby loved seeing Brad, but didn't know quite what to make of all the ruckus. It was her first official military event! She likes the luncheons, so she'll just have to get used to this type of event. She did great. It was so wonderful to see Daddy!! Can't wait to really see him at home!

Mmmm ... thanks Daddy!
