Saying goodbye one last time.....we were out in the van saying our goodbyes.
The bus ride to Eilson
If you look closely you might see someone you recognize...right in the middle!
Bording the plane things were starting to settle in......
At least I got to sit next to good company!
This was our stopover in Ireland. It was very pretty but we didnt have long enough to take a tour.
What a stud! A true Pilot Extrodinair!! I love my job babe, really I do. I just hate being away.
One of our unfortunate customers. Dont worry...he turnned out just fine thanks to us!
This is SSG Northern, one of our flight Medics, hard at work on the patient. Our Medics are pretty knowledgable and expierienced.

Here are some pictures of the area around where we live. Not all of Iraq is the typical dessert that everyone thinks about.
Another picture along the Tigres river that runs through southern Iraq.What a great picture taken by one of my crewchiefs on that same mission. That is the sister ship that we were flying with.

Here is a picture of the maddness that we have to deal with when we fly. It can get quite busy in the cockpit sometimes. Every time we fly I learn more and more about how to manage and run the cockpit better.
Well, here I am on a mission flying in the left seat. The sun was so bright that day even my sun vissor was not enough to block it out and I could hardley see the instruments. It was a beautiful day though.

Story Time!


Oh boy! The girls are so very happy and can't get enough of you reading to them! We just got the books and video of you in the mail today -Officer Buckle and Gloria, Hope is an open heart. I am so glad you read to them, it means so much to them and to me. We love to watch you and hear your voice. I am so grateful that the USO, set up this great program for the kids.. It is very thoughtful. The hope book won't play for some reason, not on the dvd player or computer... But the other video will and we're very excited abou that. Thank you honey for doing this! I love you so very much!


The glasses


When we went to the Ross' for Christmas dinner, they had a Christmas Pinata' for the kids. Fun huh. The kids had a blast! Ashley got these at that time and even now as they are broken she will still wear them just about all the time. And she has this seriousness about it too, she is not doing it for fun, these are necessary glasses for her sight! I just think it is too funny! That girl...

The girls room

The other dresser is in the closet, it is going to be tricky to fit all their toys and stuff in here once Landon will move into their other room, the "playroom".. But it will work out. I'm probably moving him in there right before you come home for R&R, he'll be over 5 months old in March. I have noticed the girls are getting a long better as they share a room. This change was a good one.
