It's official! We're an Army family, now.
As of this afternoon, Mike took the oath of office and is now 2LT. Kayle. He had to be sworn in by a higher ranking officer so my dad flew in to do the honor (and to meet his new grandson). It'll be nice to have him around for a couple of days.
We headed over to the seminary and did it in front of the chapel. The pictures would have been better but off to the right was a parked maintenance truck and it made things hard to work around.
The advisor who helped Mike through the chaplaincy process came and watched Mike take the oath. He also took the stroller and walked Brody around in circles to keep him happy. Thank goodness, or we'd be without pictures as I would have had L wrapped around my leg and had Brody in my arms. As evidenced in the next picture, he was quite content being pushed around.
Logan, however, was quite skeptical of the strange man who seemingly took her Brody. She gave him quite the stare down when he walked away with the stroller.
Side note: where did our spring weather go? I was so sad we all had to wear thick jackets for these pictures!
Logan is so happy to have her "g daddy" here in town. She's sucking up the attention!
We are so proud of Mike and can't wait to see where this new adventure takes us! Here's the video of him taking his oath (pardon the cinematography, I was trying to take video and take pictures AND had a little one wrapped around my leg!):

Welcome to the Army wife club! I know you are from an Army family, but if you need any help with anything Army, please feel free to ask! Where will you guys be stationed first?
We'll be here until Mike is finished with seminary. He'll work with a reserve unit while training under another chaplain and then when he's done we'll go active duty and see where it takes us. :) I'm sure I'll have lots of questions, I've never done the Army wife thing before! Hope you're doing ok, been praying for you!
