First Bath

Kaitlyn helped me give Maddie her first bath.  She seemed to like kicking her legs in the water.

SSG

Although Brian was promoted 1 May, he was finally pinned today.  Throughout his Army career we have always been apart when he is promoted so it was special that we were part of this one.
