Matt today
Look closely - do you notice a difference? Can you find the new aviator wings? Matt's parents and brother made the long drive down to help celebrate his graduation from flight school.
The socks never stay on...
Joella got a little sleepy, so Steve helped take care of her during part of the ceremony while all the flight school graduates' names were being announced. She didn't have to wait very long to see her daddy get his wings because his name was called 1st. Surprise - surprise... Matt was #1 in his graduating class
. I was a little surprised yesterday when Matt told me but at the same time I wasn't because flying seems to come so naturally to him. He was actually a bit uneasy about it because he doesn't like having the spotlight on him if he can help it. I figured this is our blog, so I'm going to be the proud wife I am and spotlight him :)
Joella is proud too
She grabbed his certificate on her own...
Even though she was tired, she gave us a lot of smiles
It's tradition for flight school students to present their spouse with a "pushing honey through" gift.
so I got my own wings to wear :)

Way to go Matt and Johnni and Joella! :) That is an acomplishment to be very proud of! I enjoy reading your posts.
P.S. How's cloth diapering going Johnni? We just braved the overnight diaper last night and it worked! :) Ask Amber - I was very excited to try.
