Last Friday was Doug's graduation from Navy basic training at Great Lakes Naval Base near Chicago. It was a great experience being able to be there for the occasion. Megan was VERY excited to see her husband and I was excited to see my baby boy. It was great to spend time with all my children. Stephanie had flown in from Phoenix and we met Megan in Luverne,MN and all traveled to Chicago together. Doug graduated as anE3 which is the highest rank you can leave boot camp with. We are all very proud of our sailor. Who would have thought that little red-headed baby "sailor" would grow to become an actual Navy man!? Doug is quite handsome in his uniform and Megan commented that she has a new appreciation for men in uniform. But I think she has a new appreciation for HER man in uniform not men in general! : )
Like I said.."wish they were still that little"..it was only yesterday!!
