Such a trooper...

We are very proud! Yesterday, M graduated from the Academy, and is now officially our favorite lawman!
------------------
Thursday evening, the family headed downstate to Springfield for a banquet to honor the Class 118 Cadets...
...but Friday morning, the stage was set for graduation and the stars were shining...
...for Marco.
-----------------
We were able to tour the facility and UNDERSTAND the lengthy 25 week process that the cadets endured. The pomp and circumstance of it all was very cool.
It is a symbol of a new beginning...
...and we wish him the best of luck!
---------------
Tonight, we will gather for a party with friends and family! So sure to have more pictures to come!

Marco looks so much like Chato (and their mom) in these pics! Congrats to the whole Prado family!
