He's Leaving On A Jet Plane

Since I was so bad about posting last year, I never did post the pictures of Christopher's graduation from Army Basic Training! Then I cleared the pictures off of my card onto a disc when I was at my mom's house and she still has it, so I can't post them even yet. But I will.
Christopher has been home since graduation doing hometown recruiting and well, doing nothing he was taught in basic training! All of the discipline lasted about 2 days...and that was it. Hopefully, it wasn't too rough for him when he reported to his duty station last night. Now, don't feel too bad for him, because his duty station is Honolulu, Hawaii! Of course, getting to enjoy that beautiful place comes at a price. He will be heading to Iraq sometime this year. That is a whole other post.
Close up!!
That smile on Geno's face isn't really real since he had to get up at 3:30am and drive to the Tulsa Airport (and he hadn't had any breakfast up to this point!!) Notice that Zachary isn't even looking at the camera. He discovered escalators today! He was thrilled that we would go down one and then could go right back up the other one.
With his wife, Elizabeth, before he had to get through security. We were running a little behind which left little time for emotional good-byes since the line to get through security was REALLY long. (Zachary was still keeping an eye on the escalator!)
PaPa just had to take him down and back up for his third and final time ;o)
