This last shot is Jack holding Josie's legs and moving them so she is kicking him in the chest. We of course are scolding Josie, "Don't you kick your brother!" She's so naughty!Tuesday, October 20, 2009
October 16th - My B-57 baby
Today, Air International magazine came to interview some people in Aircraft Operations and I was a lucky interviewee. The WB-57 was based on the British Canberra, so the Brits often take a special interest in it. I can't wait to see how the article turns out. I was asked to wear my flightsuit, which Ronny calls my "flying costume".

October 8th - Welcome Holly & Espen
Today Holly & Espen arrive for a visit to Houston. It was Espen's first plane ride, which is pretty exciting. We set up a special table for the boys to eat at which was trouble from the start. (What do you expect with 3 boys? Definitely trouble!)
October 4th - Tigger jumper
It was time to take out the Tigger jumper and give Josie a little mobility.
October 2nd - Our big day in Levelland
This morning was Great-Grandpa's funeral. It was a great service to honor a great man. In the days and weeks to follow, Jack and Charlie would randomly comment, "Great-Grandpa died. That's why we're a little bit sad." Or "Great-Grandpa died. His body couldn't work anymore."
After the funeral, we all went out to Papa's cotton farm. The kids had a great time running through the fields while the parents hoped there weren't any rattlesnakes around. Jack picked a bunch of cotton. Charlie enjoyed digging in the dirt. Both boys were delightfully filthy with the beautiful red dirt. Between the bug splats outside and juice box squirts and farm dirt inside, I'm not sure if the minivan will ever be the same. My ride has been officially "Mom'd".

October 1st - Day 2 - On the road again
Today we drove from Fort Worth to Levelland. Between feeding Josie every 2.5 hours and accommodating separate potty breaks for 3 boys (yes THREE), it took us about 10 hours to make the 7-hour drive.
Here is a shot of the kids cuddling in bed in the morning. Charlie is so proud to be Josie's big brother. Can't you just see it?
Here is one of the many pictures that Ronny took of the wind turbines across Texas. I was only a little big sad thinking about the fact that he probably took more pictures and video of the wind farm than he has taken of me since Josie was born. (I forgive, though. Really. Someday.)
Ronny did a bit of research about this particular wind farm and he says it is the largest in the WORLD. It is hard to understand how enormous these things are until you see a single blade on a special-made trailer bed. Check out this picture.

September 30th - Day 1 of our trip to Levelland
Here are some shots from day 1 of our trip to West Texas for Ronny's Grandpa's funeral. He was a great man and I feel honored to have known him for the past 8 years. I will always remember the great stories he told, his love of music, and how easily he beat me at dominoes.
Above are the boys whipping each other with their blankies. Below you can see me holding a pacifier in Josie's mouth while she holds my hand.
This was the first time the boys ever shared a bed. They did great.
