Up in the Air Again

John's instructor let me ride along again today. Here is a picture of John looking out at the traffic (several other aircraft) over Pensacola beach. Isn't he a natural in the cockpit?
This is a picture of beautiful Pensacola beach out the back window of the Piper. It was a really great day to be up there!

The Anderson's take to the Sky

John and Piper Warrior N41882.
Passed 1st solo, and have the missing Shirt tail to prove it. It is a tradition for instructors to cut off the students shirt tail after their first solo so the Instructor can no longer tug on the back of their shirt to get their attention when correcting them during training.

Land, Sea, and Sky. All three are wonderous creations of God Almighty, for God created them in the beginning. If you turn to Genisis Chapter 1 verse 1-10 you can discern for yourself that God first created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless, empty, and dark, and the Spirit of God hovered over the waters. In day two God created the expanse between the waters and named it the Sky. (If you were unaware that there used to be water above the earth, now you know. What happened to it, you ask? If you read about time that God flooded the earth, you will find that water sprang up from the ground and the flood gates ofthe heavens opened and it rained for 40 days. I believe thats what happened to the water) On day three God gathered the waters below the sky together and caused dry ground to appear. God named the dry ground Land and the gathered waters the Sea. And God saw that it all was good. We also see that these creations are good. When we see a sunrise or sunset, or watch a lighting and thunderstorm, or lay on our backs on a sunny day when the sky is filled with big fluffy clouds and imagine what the shapes are; we are amazed and in awe of God's creation of the sky. If we go for a hike in the forest, or climb in the mountains, or take a long walk on the beach by the Sea; we are inspired and stand in awe of God's creation of the Land and Sea.

Something We're Excited About

Yesterday was my 12 week appointment with the doctor to check on how everything is going and to do another ultrasound (something my doctor does as a favor to show us how much the baby has grown in the past few weeks). John came with me, for support and because I think he's pretty crazy about the little person growing inside of me, too, and he wanted to have a look at him/her. :)

It was so fun! Our baby is moving a lot, the doctor said, maybe more than usual, maybe not, I don't really know, but he/she is VERY active. At one point the baby opened its' mouth really wide and lifted its' hands above its' head. The doctor took a picture of that and now the ultrasound hanging on the fridge is a picture of what looks like a little baby smiling and waving to the camera. It's really funny and we both laugh whenever we look at the picture.

That might be really boring to some but it was pretty fun for us. :) Just wanted to share.

New Blog Address

Hey, everyone,

We started a new blog. Although we had an old one, the address was just too long to type so we started this one. Plus we hadn't posted anything really so this kind of gives us a fresh start. We hope this keeps you all updated on what's going on for this Anderson family.
