Visit to Daddy's School

Hi Everyone, sorry it has been so long since my last post. My apologies. We have all been under the weather here. Max got the worst of the deal. He was hit with 2 days of vomiting, and a week of fever, runny nose and cough. Daddy was pretty bad also with a fever, the chills, a sore throat and cough. Me, well just sinus congestion, pressure and one wicked headache that didn't budge for about 6 days. We all suffered through, Max being the biggest trooper. He would throw up and then go back to playing race cars.

There is nothing harder to watch then your sick child and being able to do nothing for him. We saw his doctor, who said that no antiboinics where necessary unless diarhea became one of the symptoms. YIPPEE!! Something to look forward to. That was a hard visit. On the positive side, at the time, he was 25 lbs. and 36 and 1/4 inches. He is stretching out like his momma. The doctor said not to worry, he had a little bit of reserves to live on if he wasn't eating. REALLY!!! From where? 25 lbs and only in the 5% for weight at his age. Sometimes being a mom is so frustrating.

Anyway on a more positive note, we went to visit daddy at his school  the week before his finals. Max had a great time. There are a bunch of airplanes and helicopters, in various states of disassembly. We got to climb into the cockpit of several different ones and Max had a blast.

 "Welcome aboard MLJ Airlines, I will be your pilot today, while my daddy pushes the pedals."

Do not attempt this during flight!

Inside an Air Force Transport plane. "Wow, look at all those buttons and switches!"

"I want in!" Outside there are some old fighter planes. Sadly, we could not get inside.

I am not really sure if Max or daddy had a better time. Daddy loved showing us around, taking a break from studying for finals and Max loved seeing all the airplanes.

We are also happy to announce that Daddy passed his finals with a 94%! It was a very rough quarter for him, having to learn trigonometry and lots of electrical mathematics. 
We are so super proud of you daddy! Good Job!!
