Ellie still loves air planes and continually talks about flying. She is always pointing out real or imaginary planes in the sky. I carry her and she puts out her arms like wings as we race around the house and experience engine problems, resulting in a big crash on the bed. If she climbs up and stands on top of anything (a chair, rock, book..) she invariably says "I up so high like an airpaane."

This morning she got to go up in one of her beloved airplanes. Ellie and I went flying to get some aerial photos of the Word of Life campus. Debbie came along to help with Ellie, and Dennis was our pilot.
We spent about an hour flying over the campus and the city of Owen Sound. We had clear and steady skies and the sun was still low in the east.
I went flying with Dennis five years ago to do the same thing.. the campus has definitely changed in that time! New pathways, basketball court, remodeling of one of the office buildings, new beach volley-ball court, and a bunch of stuff you can't really see in the photos.
(the campus five years ago)
Ellie seemed to really enjoy the experience of being in a small airplane. She has probably flown 8 or 10 times already in her short life, but this was the first time in a small plane.
Ellie, Troy, and Dennis
Thanks for the great flight Dennis!

I think Ellie and Evan are going to get along just fine. He loves airplanes...and tractors...and other boy things ;) I think he has enough toy tractors to share! But I can't guarantee that he won't pull her hair.
That first picture is classic! Hope the packing is going well. The shed is under construction... well, the floor is done. : ) Trevor and I both agree that if it isn't done then we'll just throw a tarp over your things.
I love the first picture. Absolutely classic!
Ellie is a bit of a tom-boy right now.. She has her own collection of tractors and trucks. I guess I should let her mom play with her more.
