Look What I Did!

My first ever pumpkin and apple pie! They're far from beautiful--I'm just relieved that they turned out at all. Too bad I can't try a piece before taking them to the big party tomorrow. You should see my kitchen! I should have taken a picture before I started cleaning up. Today I made 8 loaves of banana bread, a pumpkin roll, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and a pumpkin cheesecake. My feet and back are killing me! Think I'll head for a bubble bath.

Brian's flying the S-92

Make a slide show, scrapbook or ecard

Thought you'd like to see what Brian's flying these days! These things are so huge and powerful that the office windows shake when it comes in for a landing. This is the biggest helicopter that the oil industry uses. 18 passengers, 2 pilots, and a crew manager. The rotor blades are as wide as Brian's arm length. It's a big difference from the little R-22 he started out flying:

I'll Be Home for Christmas

Our digital camera died, so no pictures for awhile. If you want to see more pictures, buy me a new camera :-). Yes! We are coming home for Christmas! I am so relieved to be getting out of here for awhile. Cajun Country is really getting to me. Kylie and I fly in Dec. 13 and Brian will come (with the cat) on Dec. 21. We're having a birthday party for Brian on Dec. 26--he is turning 30. Gotta have a big bash! Can't wait to see everyone!

First Day of School

I wish this picture came out clearer...stupid free digital camera. Here's my Bug going off to her first day of school! She's doing Pre-K at the Montessori School. She was really excited to get to work. Much to her dismay, today was not a work day, but an orientation day. She came home pretty upset. She had work to do! I thought I would come home and cry in my empty apartment. But I didn't. I took a nap. Then I worked out for a good half-hour (and didn't have to watch Dora or Barney!). Then came home and had a shower and did my hair. Had some lunch and watched HGTV. Thought about doing housework, but decided that today is my day off. I've been devoting every second and every thought to my angel for over 5 years, and I rather enjoyed a bit of freedom. I have really dreaded this day, but have felt supported by the Spirit. The downside to all this freedom: it's going to be really hard to give it up when it's time to have another kid!
