Zach was sworn in for the Galesburg Fire Department Monday, February 16th. 

We were so proud of him. 

Zach left SF about a year and a half ago, since then he has been working his butt off pursuing fire fighting. He took a great job in purchasing at Homeway that was able to support us in the meantime while also being able to volunteer in a small town.

So Monday he was sworn in and Chris and Kristi went out with me and the boys to watch it. And by watch I mean the boys shoved handfuls of tic tacs in their mouths and I almost suffered heat stroke trying to wrestle Levi. Eventually I gave up and he walked to the front and Zach held him. Women's hearts worldwide melted in unison. It was a great ceremony and there was a really nice article in their paper too.

16 months is busy! Levi and I were too rowdy for the tour so we played trucks in the foyer at City Hall. 

I'm laughing at this picture in hindsight because in the moment I was positive we were daring death and asked them nonchalantly but firmly to stop raising the bucket. Then Zach's parents got in and went about 3 times higher. Shep cried the next 15 minutes because he was so sad he had to get off.

 Happy family at a reasonable height!
