This was one of my first landings during my flight training.
The last time I flew an airplane, it was hot out. I really need to find some time to get up in the air again. I’m about halfway done with my flight training, and it’s been about two months since I’ve made a radio call as 9576C. My New Years resolution is to make time to fly.
After unloading groceries today we realized Zeek had disappeared. I looked in his room, all over the house, out back, out front, in his room again, and again outback. Apparently he had buried himself completely in the leaves for more than ten minutes.
My nephew Jimmy’s first birthday party was this weekend. It’s actually what prompted me to revive MikeAndDanelle.com. I setup a website for him and gave him a 7″ Android tablet to blog with. I figured it wasn’t right to have a website for him, but not my family.
Maddox had a great time at the party. It was the first time he had the opportunity to run around and play with multiple kids at the same time. He’s definitely not a shy boy. Surprisingly he didn’t stick to his motto of, “Hi, I’m Mad Mike, and I’m here to #!@# stuff up.”
It was kinda crazy to see all of these babies and young kids from my generation. Apparently we’re all getting old and every decided to have kids at the same time. The past 8 years I’ve been the youngest parent at school functions, and now I’m about the same age as other parents with kids the same age as Maddox.
We added another several hundred lights this year, along with some additional candy canes, two light trees, a train, and a mickey mouse inflatable. Maddox is about to turn two and he loves the “Christmas Magic.” That’s what he calls the lights.
It looks like the photo missed the synchronized color changing lights on the roof, but I’m to lazy to retake it. I assume that next year the lights are going to be out of control. Seeing Maddox go crazy over Christmas brings back memories of Zeek and Angelica’s early Christmases. We’ll definitely have to step it up a notch net year.
