Another graduation for Alec

We are still busy here.  And very tired.  Caitlin left Sunday morning at 3 am.  She originally planned to be here for Alec's graduation but the date was changed twice after she booked her ticket.  Monday morning we headed for Kingston, picking up my parents and Kevin's mom on the way.  We spent the night in a hotel but first our good friends L & G had us all over for dinner.  They are wonderful hosts and what an amazing spread!  And very brave to have 7 extra people over.  We have known them since our New Brunswick years and Alec has visited them often over the last 15 months. 

 Tuesday morning at 8:30 am we all watched Alec graduate from the Land Communication Information Systems technician course .  Kevin wasn't around when Alec was sworn in but he was able to participate in this ceremony.

Alec will be moving to Edmonton, likely within the month.  He is posted to 1 CBG HQ & Sigs.  I am sure everyone understands what that means.

You must have been very proud!

Laura, be sure to let Alec know that if he ever wants a home-cooked meal, or needs anything at all, he can call us any time. We are 5 minutes away from the base and Tom is still p/t reserves, so he is up there regularly. I'm sure it is with mixed emotions that you see him off to his first posting! What a wonderful young man you have raised!
love,
