Viviane, TOdd, Camille & Little Austin

Viv found a few more pics that she wanted to share.

My mother, Kathy, is here helping Viv yell at me or help taking care of the kids while we work, have not taken any pictures of her yet. I do however have some other pictures of some stuff we've been doing the last month.


Sleep, sleep little monster, so peaceful.




Camille and I went to the mall near here, they have a carousel for the kids, I got to ride too.







You know, being an airline pilot has it's advantages, one of those is being able to afford an new backyard pool and in a covered atrium. It's good to pretend to be rich. No, it's not full of garbage, we have a very active two year old as most of you know...













Ahhh, the joys of spending time with the family.







Once again, Camille loves playing with her dad...




Camille got a hold of the swing controls, poor little Austin.




I still talk to one of my first two students from China, Big Roy. Big Roy is now flying 737's for Xiamen Airlines all over China and around the Pacific Rim, meanwhile, I fly to Wichita Falls, Tx., Lawton, Ok., Shreveport or as we call it Sleezeport, Amarillo, Lubbock.... etc, etc, should have been Chinese.... Big Roy sent me some new pics, but I'm including some old pics to remind you all who he is, because I know it is important to you all....

Here is Big Roy after he got his private pilots license.

Flying his 737.







Just for comparison, flying my ATR, or at least parked on the ramp in Waco, Texass.




Looks better in his uniform than I do.




With his girlfriend/fiance/wife.

The last two months with no update has been very busy and has flown by. Try not to keep it so far apart.

The weather in May was great we took the kids to the park in early May for a couple of hours, Camille tried to destroy the park, Austin just slept peacefully.
















Happy kidlette.




Lounging around in our fantabulous back yard pool.







Grandpa Unckle Eskeep Dad came out the end of April for a long weekend.







Camille baby sits. Austin not too impressed.







Oh, thats better.







Naaa, just kidding.




Finally, we went to Peru in late May. I was there for 8 days and Viv stayed longer with the kids.

Watching a movie on my computer on an American Airlines 767.




Sleep, yes, sleep till we get there.

Viv woke me up around 3:30am on the morning of April 8th to let me know it was time, she called the babyologist and was told to head to the hospital. We arrived around 4 am and the newest kidlette was born at 7:41 am. Austin William weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz and was measured in at 19 inches. Black hair, currently has blue eyes and my nose. Viv, Camille, Austin and Todd are all doing well, we could all use a little more sleep, but that will come.....

Finally, grandma Kathy made it out to visit.

Two years ago, out Camille pop'd out, started destroying things, and has never looked back. Today she turned two, we had a little party yesterday evening for her before my mom left today. Today we spent the day running around watching her paint, draw, draw on the seat of my new truck with a pen, and generally just did her best to destroy the universe. Viv's mother Concho, aunt Chachi and cousin Koki were here from Peru, and my mother was here from D.C. all to help celebrate her birthday. Not much of a party, but was enough for Camille.

Happy kidlette and her balloon.

We have about 11 days till our monster part deux is here. Went for the last sonogram today to check his progress, all is well, actually got a pretty good shot of his face, the others weren't much too look at. April 12th is our due date, if he is not here by then, Viv will be induced on that night....

If you can't make heads or tails of the picture, tilt your monitor counter clockwise or lay your head to the right. You can see his nose, cheek, eyes, forehead, and a little of his lips.




Here, tilted the picture, easier to understand.

On Tuesday November 28th, 1995 Uncle Eskeep Dad and I went from Dunkirk south on Maryland Rt. 4 to Prince Frederick, Maryland. We went down to the Toyota dealership in to pick up my new 1996 Tacoma LX. I paid $20,553.50 for a V6, manual, extended cab, 4X4 super truck. Today, Feb. 12th, 2010, I sold my super trucko. Over the last 14 years, 2 months, 16 days I drove my truck 282,100 miles or 1,489,488,000 feet, that averages about 54.35 miles a day, figuring off of a rough average of 16 mpg, I figure I used somewhere around 17631 gallons of gas, I changed the oil around 94 times for around 129.25 gallons of oil. Wore out six sets of tires and was half way through set number seven. Not counting the gas, oil, tires and servicing/upkeep, the truck cost me about $3.96 a day to own.

Had the truck registered in Maryland, Colorado, Arizona, and finally in Texass. While owning this truck, I worked as a Scuba Instructor, Sales Rep for a trucking company, Lift Operator, Snowcat operator, Carpenter, Flight Instructor, and finally an Airline Pilot. The truck came with a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty, I past 36,000 miles around month ten owning the truck. My super truck rocked.


So long super truck, we hardly knew ya.

Viv and Camille took the last flight out of DFW to Denver on Friday, off to visit Granny and her sister Rebecca. My cousin Rachel gave birth to her son Wyatt back late last year, and the two of them were in Denver for a few days. They spent two days watching Camille destroy the universe in Denver, it wore them out.

Fourteen years and two months ago I bought my Toyota Tacoma and have been driving it non-stop, I put just over 281,600 miles on it and it is still going strong. Today I bought a new Toyota Tacoma. New kidlette coming need more room. I am sad to have to get rid of my red truck but it is time to go. Anyone want to buy a truck? Here is my new truck, 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 with four doors.

On the 23rd of December it was 75 degrees and sunny, on the 24th it was 35 degrees and snowy. Had a storm come in to the Dallas area, it dropped snow from around noon till about eight, but the winds that came with the storm were a steady thirty five mph out of the north west. We got some accumulation but most of it blew away. It made for a long day flying, or rather trying to fly. I had to fly two flights on Christmas day and then back home to open presents with my in laws, parents, Camille and the Viv. Today was also Uncle Eskeep Dads 71st birthday so we had a small party.
