First in Flight

We moved to Pensacola because Joe will begin flying the T-1 so it's actually kinda funny that I am the first one of us to fly in a T1 at Pensacola. The squadron was having a morale day and the commander's wife squeezed me in on a ride-a-long at the last minute. I got to fly in this tiny aircraft and see what Joe will be doing when he goes to work. It was a blast! The view was incredible and who knew that Pensacola was so pretty from the air? I especially liked the landing, it felt like a Gravitron (ride at the fair) and a water slide at the same time. They let me call aircraft control to let them know we were coming in for a landing.This is what the plane looks like... smallest plane I've ever been on.Joe showed Jessica the plane.I showed her where mommy sat for part of the flight. We both showed her the cockpit.
Here's a shot of the whole family.Joe took care of Jessica while I was up in the air. She was worn out from playing with all the other kids. I found her sleeping in her daddy's arms when I got back from the flight, it melted my heart. Sorry it is flipped sideways.

They wouldn't let me take any pictures while we were in flight. First in Flight is actually the state logo for North Carolina, the first place Joe and I lived as a married couple.

The pictures are great! I thought the plane was bigger than that. I'm glad Jessica had fun with the other children. She looks so cute sleeping on Joe's lap after her busy day. Love, Lady

What awesome pictures! I love the one with the 3 of you in the window where Jessica's grinning :) It looks like a wonderful day, how nice to meet the other families and get such a warm welcome. That plane is really something, better than any carnival ride!!!

I liked the family shot too. I am going to try and blow it up a little so I can take one to work with me. Looked like a really fun day.

I shrink the pictures down to load them on the blog so if anyone wants the full size version of the blog photos then I will email them to you.

Incredible! I'm very jealous! Looks like a blast! Glad to see you guys getting all settled! Jessica is getting so big! She's such a doll baby with her bald little head! Love the belly time pics above also. Naked baby pics are always adorable! I miss you and hope you have a Wonderful Holiday season!
Much love!
