Thursday was Veteran's Day and the school I teach at has a big Veteran's Assembly to honor all retired and active members of the United States Armed Forces. Tanner was invited since he is currently on active duty in pilot training in the Air Force. It was pretty neat and I was pretty proud to be able to take him around my colleagues and peers and show him off and be proud that my brother is a member of our great military. He wore his flight suit (he says that the dress blues are so uncomfortable) and I think a few of my students even developed a crush on him. It was a really neat day at school, but then I took the rest of the day off just to hang out with him. T brought his flight helmet because he thought Keller would get a kick out of it. Here are a few pics. Checking out the helmet He finally got brave and put it on his head. Only it was backwards and everytime we tried to put it on the right way he would take it off and put it on backwards again! Uumm... ...
Life is wonderful. Life is messy. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's no so great. Thoughts on life from a wife, a mom, a teacher, a woman who tries to keep it all together.
