Team Anders

...it'll get warm but I'm not holding my breath. My week started with a quick overnight work trip down to Barksdale AFB .  They have B-52s...lots and lots of old B-52s ... All went well with the meeting (who hoo!) but our return flight was this control freak's nightmare. On approach our wheels were about to hit the runway when we caught a nasty crosswind and the pilot had to abort the landing (I think that's what they say but, hey, I fly a desk so I could be wrong).  He pushed up the throttle and we climbed through the bumpiest air ever. I was convinced we were going to die. 100% Convinced. (dramatic, much?) This is probably what we looked like...minus the landing part   We circled around, attempted another landing, failed, then finally touched down on the third attempt and it was smooth as glass -- go figure. The last time I was that scared on a flight I took a picture of myself so my parents could remember what I looked like. I was like 10...and faile...

All ready for the Tomlinsons' arrival! Yeay! December!! Our tree has been up since the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Christmas tunes have been playing since around then, too (thanks 94.5 FM ).  I'm pretty excited for the holidays this year because it will be the first time I'll get to spend it with my family since 2009 (I think).  Regardless, the house is decorated, everyone's got a stocking and we're ready for a great time!  Here's a quick look at our weekend. Good times had by all -- though the rain totally ruined a nearly 60 degree day today (ugh).

Easton and I are back from our quick trip to Washington D.C. and I continue to be more and more impressed with our little rookie's performances. He did absolutely great on both flights...and thank goodness because we flew the US Airways Shuttle so the "if that kid screams his head off I'm going to throw my BlackBerry at you" stares were in FULL effect. Biggest compliment received was "I didn't even realize there was a baby in there" from the man sitting in the row behind me. A+, Easton, A+! A tricky shot with the iPhone...but there's our ride No matter where we are the feet are a guaranteed good time! Ready for takeoff!!! No, Easton, you're supposed to listen to the safety announcements The kiddos meet for the 1st time! Adorable :) Alright, so I'll stop my mommy bragging and focus on the rest of the weekend we spent with Team Sandness. Polly and Pete recently PCS'd (our military acronym for a permanent move from on...
