5 Months old & Daddy's First day of Flight School

Daddy put on his AF blues this morning, grabbed his flight suit, and headed infor his first day of flight school. Daddy's dream is coming true. As he drove away, two planes flew in the distance in a side by side formation.

Mommy and Daddy found our new family wheels in Birmingham instead of Atlanta: A 2006 Volvo XC90. Mommy always loved the Volvo wagon, but this is better! It seats seven or the seats will fold flat to fit Oli and Ranger. It burns the same amount of gas as our trailblazer; has leather, a sunroof, a center back seat that brings William closer to Mommy, comfortable lumbar seats (one more thing for Mommy's back); and best of all more room than the VW but not a big bus.

A big day for William. Not only did all of this happen on the day William turned 5 months old, but he also has officially grown out of his 0-3 month clothes and moved into his 3-6 month clothes. He is also moving up to the size 2 diapers today and had a new cousin born. He officially has 18 cousins: 11 on Daddy's side and 7 on Mommy's side.

Mommy and Daddy's 9th Anniversary

We spent part of the day together before Daddy went to work and had company over for gumbo (Mommy's getting back into cooking). We're planning to celebrate this weekend: We're planning on driving to Atlanta this Sunday to pick up our new family wheels and go out to eat.
