Turning Blue


We traveled to Ft. Benning, Georgia once again a couple of weeks ago to attend Daddy's graduation from basic training and AIT. He is now officially a soldier in the US Army. We are so proud of him. And very proud to be a part of the "Turning Blue Ceremony" where family members can pin the shoulder cord onto their soldier to signify that they are now infantrymen. Lucy and I got to pin Ryan's on, and it was so neat! Here are some pictures of us at the ceremony and at the married soldier family breifing.
Oh and FYI - Ryan is now in Airborne Training at Ft. Benning. He is absolutely loving it - learning how to parachute from towers and airplanes (insert wife's nervousness here). He will be done there after next week and he has projected orders to be assigned to Ft. Campbell, KY with the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) in early October.
