Today was Damon's first day as a detective. He was promoted to a detective in the Violent Crimes Unit and we are so proud of him. He was been with Metro for 4 years and has done a lot in his short career. Shane was born when Damon was going through the Police Academy. It is weird to think how much has changed since then in our family and in his career. Gone are the days of black and whites and being the new guy on patrol. He traded in his white take home car yesterday and there is no more getting robbed as part of his civic duties.Shane is not a new baby and we have added Trevor to our family too! Look how big Shane is now in this picture! We have crazy little Trevor but I'm not sharing his WT picture with snot dripping down his face, sweats and a watermelon stained face and shirt. You'll just have to picture that image in your head! We have been so blessed with our beautiful boys and Damon's safety at work minus a broken knee, hurt back and some major scrapes and bruises occasionally!
The only thing I'm not looking forward to: GRAVEYARD shift! YIKES. I have to get all ready tonight with my things laid out if I want to shower in the boys bathroom and be super quiet all day. Damon starts work at 8 p.m. and ends at 6 a.m.! It will be an adjustment for us all but completely worth it. Thanks Damon for all your hard work in supporting our family. We are so proud of you!
