Exhausting!

It has been a busy time for us. Jason and Garry had to work on an annual inspection before Jason could move our coworkers into the tribe last Wednesday. Monday didn't go so smooth. After working on the plane all morning, the guys found out in the afternoon that the insturment used to check the compression was broken and that is what was causing all of the confusion!

They managed to get the plane fixed up and put back together Tuesday afternoon. Wedensday morning, Jason took off early and ended up not being able to fly into the tribe right away because of bad weather so he spent about 3 hours weathered in at our old flight base. Once he was over that hump it was full speed ahead. In 2 days he did 8 flights and hauled over 5500 pounds. Literally hauled, since he had to load all of those pounds in and out of the plane. It's a good thing he is so tough and had a little help :-)

This week we have a check pilot here from McNeal. The guys will be flying W,TH,F, M and I think maybe Tues of next week. Of course there is a storm system and has been cloudy and rainy the last few days :-) I can't understand why everyone wants to do lots of flying in the middle of rainy season!!!

Our support team in town is scrambling to get orders together before all of the flights happen. I'm even going to try my hand at a bit of supply buying. I've done it once before and I am VERY glad that it is not my job!

On the home front, Kellan is starting to walk a bit more and my back is rejoicing! Our big guy turns 1 in two weeks. I can't believe how fast this last year has gone. I guess we've done a good job at packing a lot in to the last 12 months.

Mirielle continues to be a 'corker' as my family would call it. I've included some new pictures of her in our photo gallery. I tried to take a couple of pictures of her the other day and she was acting CRAZY in front of the camera. She came up with all of the dramatic poses and faces on her own. As I was looking through them, I was reminded of seeing pictures and home movies of my mom when she was little. Looks like the crazy gene may have skipped a generation and landed right on my daughter!
