Change of Command

Pat officially took command on Friday (finally!). They had the ceremony outside and then we had a little reception where I got to meet some of his soldiers and collegues. Samantha did very well during the ceremony and even flashed a few smiles at Pat's Batallion Commander. Apparently she's already figured out the important people to charm. This new job will keep Pat much busier than he's been recently. Sammy and I will miss having him around (especially at lunch time), but I know he's happy to be back to doing "real" work. Here are a couple of pictures from the ceremony. For those of you who aren't used to finding your loved one in a sea of ACU pattern, Pat is the left-most person in the pictures of the formation.
