We're still here

We have been incredibly busy as of late, and with nothing spectacular, just busy. Last week Eric flew 7 times in 4 days! 2 of those flights were night flights. Today he has 2 more flights, then he'll be done with aerobatics and onto formations. CJ began a Mom's Day Out program last week, that she refers to as school and I refer to as finding my sanity time. She goes twice a week, currently Monday/Thursday but in January it will be Tuesday/Thursday. With speech twice a week, music on Tuesdays and story hour on Wednesday, we always seem to be on the go.
Last Thursday, Eric's Grandparents stopped by on their way to Dade City to winter. The girls had a lot of fun with their quick visit and CJ is still talking about their promise to go Putt Putt golfing with her some time. CJ discovered the sky full of stars while they were here. She stopped in her tracks, pointed up and sang Twinkle Twinkle Little star. First for Grandma then for Grandpa.
Laurelei is walking, er um, running everywhere. Bath time is her favorite time. She had her 9month well baby check up and aside from her drippy nose and cough she got a great report. She is 18lbs and 8oz and 27 inches long.
On Saturday we had family pictures taken. I think we had 3 newbies taking our shots, Laurelei was hungry and with her cold not happy, and CJ was a stinker refusing to look at the camera or sit where they asked her to. We got one shot with no one crying, maybe we'll have better luck next time. Following pictures, we went over to Panama City. We stayed on Tyndall AFB and had a nice time at the beach and relaxed with different scenery and good friends.
