...with a new little one coming soon! :)

Military Pay Charts say that he's looking at a fairly decent raise as a result. As you say, with another one on the way, they're going to need it!

Thanks for posting that! Yes, he just said last week that he hoped the promotion would come soon because of the new baby! :)

I guess his wishes came true! We are so proud of him...of both of them! And big sister Piper of course! :)
