Dallas Police Department Graduation

This is kind of a look at me thread... but really it's more of a look at my son in law thread!

Wes (my stepdaughter's husband of 7 weeks) just graduated today from the Dallas Police Academy. We went to the graduation this afternoon in downtown Dallas. I forgot to bring the camera, so I'm waiting for Ashley to upload and send me her pictures. (Which means there may never be pictures, but I'm hoping. )

Wes's whole family was there, plus Ashley's mom and the 5 of us... and a room full of hollering babies, it seemed. When Miss G started to get fussy, Mike and I took her out and then took turns watching her in the back room behind the auditorium, while the other one stayed in the seats to feed Michael contraband Cheeze-its . I guess not everyone knew where the exits were.

It was a nice ceremony. The police chief was there, as was the newly elected Dallas Mayor in one of his first "official" capacities, being as he just took office on Monday. Some new councilmember as well. And the local news teams, so those in North Texas watch the news at 10:00 and see if you see a story on the academy graduation. They're referring to them as the "best and brightest class" in the history of the academy.

Just wanted to say we're very proud of Wes and this accomplishment.
