New Month.....New Life

So June is here already, which also means new month, and a new rotation for Andy. This is his final rotation for his 3rd year of residency and he is doing something that he has waited a long time to do.....LIFE FLIGHT. Yeah that's right, he is a Life Flight doc this month, and yeah, it really is cool. The kids and I had a chance to go out to the airport and see him and the helicopter, there was a whole entire 12 hour shift where Andy did not fly and he quickly earned the nickname "white cloud".

I love this picture and how the kids just lined up to see the helicopter, they were in such awe.

Porter was so in his element and ready for a flight. He immediately gave me this pose, straight from Top Gun (I love that movie)

Car is my happy girl and the helmet looks like it is so heavy on her.

Mom's turn. I could not believe how big it is inside the chopper, although I guess it has to be being that it can fit the flight nurse, patient, family member, the doc, plus equipment.

The kids were so interested in his gear.

If you look on the door on the right you can see three latches, those latches are the only things that keep the helicopter closed!!

A plane that took off when we were there. It was so hot this day, I feel like you can see the humidity in the picture.

He feels so tough and cool, but you know what, he really is and I love him so much.
