38 WEEKS!!

Wow. . . . Only a few weeks left until Meri is full term on baby #2 (June 6 is D-Day).  We are waiting to find out if our new family member is another boy or a charming girl.  Meri is hanging in there, but of course is definitely ready to deliver this child.  Please excuse the long delay of a blog update, but the time has been flying since we have settled into our new home in Traverse City.  We had a pretty mild winter, but were still able to enjoy some snow activities (walking to the park, skiing at our local ski area, and XC skiing).

Some new exciting news came in March when I was offered a part time flying position with the hospital flight program.  I have been hired by Aero Med Spectrum Health of Grand Rapids, MI who will be merging with the flight program in Traverse City starting July 1st.  I started training on April 1st and we have been managing the family schedules to allow enough time for Caleb coverage.  It has been amazing to fly again, sharpen those skills, and learn a new programs operating procedures.

Other highlights of the winter are below with pictures to truly show how much fun we have had with Caleb and getting acquainted in our new home town.

- Beavercreek 2015, our annual CO trip to see Marco Sullivan race the World Cup Birds of Prey downhill
- First Xmas in our new HOME!
- Chicago Trip to see the Voice auditions with Michelle
- Tahoe Trip in Feb (just the boys, Caleb and Dad)
- Girls Trip to CA (pre-baby moon for Meri to relax)
- Caleb's 2nd B-day Bash
- Keelan's marathon training (Running on May 28th to qualify for Boston)
- Milwaukee Trip to visit family

We hope everyone is doing well and truly ready for some summer fun.  Be safe and remember to CARPE DIEM!!!
