March was a very busy month for us.....Phil was away for a week doing some ground school training in Nampa, Idaho at the MAF US Headquarters. We spent one weekend babysitting some of our nieces and nephews which was fun but crazy! We had one road trip left to do and we saw some great friends in Toronto. Kaitlyn had her second ear surgery to replace the tubes that had fallen out....and now she can hear again! Then all 4 of us left for Nampa, Idaho to stay at the MAF Headquarters for 1 month while Phil completed the last phase of his flight training....and good news....He passed and is officially recommended for field service. We had a great time in Nampa, met some good friends (kids and adults), enjoyed some hot sun and relaxing before the craziness of packing begins.
I am so thankful for our little camera.....it captures so many moments so we will never forget.

I rarely get to read blogs, and followed a few links and found yours! So awesome! I've beenthinking of you guys often the past few days, Emily would love to call Kaitlyn again :)
ReplyDeleteI really had to chuckle at the rope swing, lol We no longer have grass on the hill thanks to ours!
Oh, this is your old neighbour.. I won't post my full name, but I just realized that you don't really have any way of knowing!!
ReplyDeletePs-we have your picture up and we are praying for your journey to Chad!
No kidding; 'swing of death!' that picture's scary!!! But I love all the other ones, especially the one with the ducks and the super cute matching hair styles! Did you know you can make even better 'dirt' with dream whip and oreos mixed in? Half a tub of dream whip mixed with a full box of chocolate pudding (pre-mixed), and then 6 or so crushed Oreo cookies. Crumble 6 more Oreo cookies, and layer pudding mix with cookies, making sure to finish with worms and cookie crumbs. I can send you the real measurements if you'd like!
