Griffin's Graduation & Commissioning

We had a great time the last 10 days. We flew to Portland where we were greeted by Griffin & Elliott at the airport. Went to a really cool restaurant at a place called Kennedy School. They renovated the school into a restaurant/multiple mini-bars and rooms to stay the night. Very interesting atmosphere.

Saturday we attended Griffin's Air force commissioning. He is now a 2d Lt. in the Air force. He will be going to Pensacola, Florida this fall to train as a Navigator. The ceremony was an emotional time to see this young boy turn into a man. Griffin has been goal oriented from day one and I know he will have an amazing career. On Sunday, we went to his graduation ceremony. It was about 3 1/2 hrs long, because of so many graduates and the priests were a little lengthy. I included a picture of Gregg catching a cat nap in the video montage. Gregg's mom, Marcia, was able to attend. How neat it must have been to see her son pinned and then her grandson. The cute little redhead with Griffin at the end is Shannon. We wish her luck in her future endeavors in Med school. We celebrated with a dinner at Ruth's Steak House, the food was wonderful and it was nice to be with family. I only wish Kali & Jesse and Nick could have be there too and that the weather could have been nicer..brr.
