BUSY WEEKEND

Trying out his chair... He's not quite ready for it though.

Alexander's first airshow. This is pretty much how he was during the entire event.

Chris and I after the taxi ride. Can you tell who the real fighter pilot is???

This past weekend was quite a busy one in the Troyer household. We had a lovely visit with Chris' parents, participated in Spouse Taxi Day, went to an airshow and I went to a baby shower. I also left Alexander for more than I ever have before. Friday morning during Spouse Taxi Day, he stayed at home with his grandparents. Although I knew he was going to be well taken care of and I was excited about the Taxi Day, I was still super nervous about leaving him. Prior to Friday, the longest I had been away from him had been 1 hour and on Friday morning I was gone for 3 1/2 hours. I was very distracted and having a good time, so that helped, but I was very anxious to get home to him. Of course he did just fine with his grandparents. Some slight issues with eating, but overall very successful. And then Saturday night Alexander stayed home with Chris while I went to a baby shower and stayed out until 10:30pm! I was exhausted! I hadn't stayed out past 8pm since before he was born. But I had a great time and although I missed my guys, I knew they were just fine. And of course they were.

Friday morning was Spouse Taxi Day, aka Take Your Wife To Work Day. I had an absolute blast! I dressed up in one of Chris' flight suits and took a ride down the runway in the backseat of a T38 with Chris in the front seat. We have been married almost 6 years and it was really cool to get a glimpse of what he does all day and of him in action. I am super impressed! The jet has so many buttons and dials, I have no idea how he knows what to do with them all. And the radio! I have no clue how he knows what to listen for, what to say in return, and what it all means. And on top of all that, he has to make sure a student is doing everything properly all at the same time! My husband amazes me. Yet for another reason, he is my hero!!
