My Shadow

~ Ben followed me into the kitchen this afternoon while I was doing the dishes and all the sudden I hear a squeal and look over the counter and he found his shadow. I immediately remember my mom telling the story of the day I found my shadow. It seemed Ben was a little happier about finding his than I was when I found mine. I tried to get a photo of him touching the floor but he stopped when he heard me turn on the camera so I snapped one anyways.

Little under the weather

So it totally sucks when you feel like crap but think hey it's just a cold and keep on pushing yourself through the daily mom routine. Then after a few days you decide to go to the Dr and guess what? Viral Pneumonia! Yep, no wonder I was feeling like crap all weekend. So I guess it's going around Edwards and I of course just had to go and get it because I have nothing else to do right now and am in no way extremely busy with EOSC functions and what not. Anywhoo! hopefully after a few days of medication I will be feeling like my normal self again.

On a different note one of the many projects I have been working on lately has been designing a gift basket for the 416th to put new baby/new mom goodies in and had the idea to start making my own pacifier clips. I have already made a few for Benjamin and also made some to go with the Squadron baskets. It has been a work in progress but I think I have finally figured it out.

Your exits are Here, Here and Here!

We bought this Mickey Plane for Ben after his friend David received one for his 1st Birthday and he thought it was the coolest thing ever! He loves to be pushed super fast down the halls and will sit on it all day if he could. He's attempted a few times to walk behind it but doesn't get very far before just sitting down and he definitely needs to work on his exit technique :)

My Daddies Jet

As an Air Force wife I've followed my husband from Florida to Ohio and all the way out to the High Desert where he now gets to fly F-16 fighter jets and I am totally jealous. So when he came home last night with an envelope and said here you go I was curious as to what was inside. Yep! it was pictures of him and his jet"his names right there" and as an FTE this is pretty cool. He has been super busy these days with tests and other projects and now a new job title of "Flight Commander". I am so proud of him and his accomplishments these fast few years. Congratulations Honey!! All your hard work is paying off.

September

Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend!! We have enjoyed having daddy home for 4 days to play with. I can't believe it's already September and we are counting down the days to the SETP conference at Disney Land
http://www.setp.org/HTML/Symposia/losangeles.htm. We can't wait for Nana and Papa to get here to help out while mommy and daddy are busy with cocktail parties and events. It will be Ben's first trip to Disney Land I know he'll only be 10months old but he knows who Mickey Mouse is so I can't wait to see his face take in all the lights and colors, and mommy is ready to ride some roller coasters!!!
