Eh?

What are they thinking? Our cats would be flippin' annoying in a plane. I mean, it's hard to even drive a car with them loose, but during landing? I guess this kitty is an old pro... And it leaves me wondering if there's any rule about pets being strapped in during taxi, takeoff and landing.

Long time, no post!

Hi everyone! We're still alive over here in Virginia's historic triangle, having survived nearly four months with the new baby!

It's been a topsy-turvy ride, but we may finally be leveling off! Husband has made a few posts documenting our son's first few flights since leaving the womb. I've been back-seating it for all of our flights, but hope to get time in the not-too-distant future to do some refresher flights with Husband and maybe an instructor, too. Trouble is, we've "only" got Cirruses (Cirri?) at our disposal now, and I don't really want to put these more expensive planes through my re-learning! Plus I'm not ready for a glass cockpit or having to manage a turbo...

Anyway, just a quick note to wish you all well! I hope you have a fantastic holiday!

And in parting, here's my adaptation of "Rock-a-bye baby" for our Little Big Man:
Fly away, Evan
in your airplane.
Ride on the wind
from sea to mountain.
Soar with the birds
and dance with the clouds,
then come home, land safely
back on the ground!

Rededication

[Update: changed the address of the family blog.]

I've rededicated my other blog to the new baby and family, so I'll stop posting about him here unless it's aviation-related!

New baby :)

[Updated: added a picture of Evan and his daddy.]

Baby Evan arrived at 5:32 pm on Thursday, August 23. We got home from the hospital a little bit ago.

He's super, a great big healthy heap of softness! 9 lbs, 12 oz, 22 inches.

Not such a big day...

Today is our due date. No sign that he'll make his appearance today. Hopefully soon, though!

We went out to the airport today so Husband could show me the new turbo SR22 GTS we're almost part owners of... it's not so easy to get in and out of for a person of my condition ;) but it is a gorgeous machine!

Busting out...

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I'm in the skies vicariously now only through Husband and the blogging pilot community! The baby is due in 9 days, and he's certainly ready! This video will remove any doubt...
