Kiel's CHP graduation day!

Well, it's been a long time coming but at last the day is here!  We just got home from Sacramento where we witnessed Kiel's graduation from the California Highway Patrol  academy and his promotion from Cadet to Officer.  Patrice pinned his badge on him as part of the formal ceremony and now he is officially a Highway Patrol Officer.  His first field assignment, for those who don't already know, will be South Los Angeles and he will live in Manhattan Beach where he and a few others found a house together.  He will start there in 10 days so we have him till Tuesday and then he's off to set up shop in SoCal.  You know, I wonder if the NorCal sticker on his car will have to come off now...
