Today, we celebrated the promotion of my husband from Major to Lt. Colonel. I'm so proud of him I could just bust! He's the love of my life, my very best friend, an awesome daddy...and the best officer in the USAF!

The "pinning on" ceremony is quite involved, and includes the whole family playing a part. Unfortunately, the pictures didn't turn out so well...the lighting was terrible, and the guy using my camera must have had it set on "landscape" or some other weird setting. I've never seen my camera spit out such consistently bad pics. LOL But I need to share 'em anyhow...

Such a great day!

My handsome hubby as a Major...


Me and the Group Commander, Col Bacon...pinning on Dean's new rank...


The kids put his new epelets(sp?) on his shirt...

We didn't get a picture of it, but our youngest, Nathaniel, presented Dean with his cap with the new rank on it.

Dean re-pledging his oath of office. An interesting fact some may not know...it's the exact same oath that the President takes.


A lighthearted moment because Col. Bacon forgot the lines of the oath he was administering and had to pull out his "cheat sheet."


His VERY proud family!


My sexy hubby as a Lt. Colonel!


THANK YOU for letting me share!!!
