Assumption of Command

Pictures from Tuesday's assumption of command ceremony.  Tom is now the squadron commander of the 315th Fighter Squadron, an active duty squadron integrated with the Vermont Air National Guard's 158th Fighter Wing.  Green Mountain Boys!

Happy in Vermont

It's not gelato, but Joey likes his chocolate creemee just fine.

Big boots to fill

Captain 'Merica!

Malta

We just returned from Spring Break, which we spent in Malta, where it was sunny and 75 the whole week. A nice change after the cloudy, rainy weather we've had here lately. We had the good fortune to stay at an apartment of friends of Jill's family. It was a great chance to see a small island nation with a rich and unique history. Knights and fortresses and sun and sand.. What more could you want?

Another anniversary..

..another awesome anniversary mustache pic!

Family visit

We were happy to have a chance to spend time with my brother, Jim, and his family last week and show them our little corner of Italy. On the last day of their visit we took a stroll through the local town, Polcenigo, and stopped for gelato.
