Preparing for Technical Evaluations

To prepare for our two weeks with MAF, Pete went to Georgia and spent 3 days flying with his favorite flight instructor Gene Gawthrop. The video below shows them going into High Valley, a private airport just north of Dahlonega. Pete's dad also rode along one day on a flight into the mountains.

A New Adventure

Pete and I have had such an amazing few months. In our last post, I shared with y'all the major milestones that we have undergone over the past several months. As I write this note, Pete is in Georgia preparing with his old flight instructor for our MAF Evaluations next week. Yes, you did read that correctly - NEXT WEEK we will be in Nampa, ID for two weeks of MAF flight and maintenance evaluations! I can barely contain myself and have already begun packing/planning.
But our evaluation at MAF is not my main reason for posting today. As many of you may already know, Pete and I have encountered yet another major milestone in our life together - we are expecting! Little baby Greenbean is due in January of 2011 and we could not be more excited for his/her arrival! I have officially begun my second trimester and am looking forward to the day when I can feel the Greenbean moving around (and start to actually show)! I have added some of our first pictures of the Greenbean so you can all see how adorable he/she is already. We'll keep you posted on Greenbean's growth and progress (as well as ours as we prepare for parenthood).
Thanks for your prayers and support!
