Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Merry, Merry Christmas! Be Prepared For Ridiculous Amounts of Pictures. The Baylys had a pretty spectacular Christmas this year. Lots of good, quality family time, lots of good, quality food, and lots of good, quality laughter. On the 23rd we went to the Rogers, where the kids enacted the annual Nativity play. Check out Maisie's star costume, it's freakin' awesome. Uncle Kevy also put his beard to good use. Danyn, who won't ...

Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Saturday, April 25, 2015. Teag and I bought tickets to the new Cirque du Soleil show, Varekai, a couple of months ago, and finally got to see the performance last night! We had high hopes, and were not disappointed, though both of us were worried when the show started out with some weird, goat/bird guy grunting like he was slow in the head. A fantastic show, and a fun night out with Teag. Can't ask for better than that! The kids worked really hard, and M...

Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Sunday, January 25, 2015. Look at me. I'm an ATP! Last July the FAA changed the requirements for who was eligible to qualify for the ATP testing process. The change was the shove I needed to motivate myself to go through the process and earn the certificate. The new rules would require onerous and expensive ground and simulator training from an. Instrument approach plate- essentially a map for landing safely in bad weather. Thursday, January 8, 2015.

~The Bayleaves~: Happy Birthday, Ree!
http://thebayleaves.blogspot.com/2015/06/happy-birthday-ree.html
Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Happy Birthday, Ree! We had a great time celebrating Ree's birthday this year. I felt like it started out well, but circumstances made it end on a bit of a downer, despite my best efforts, unfortunately. I felt bad because she deserved a great day. Ree seemed pleased, so the mission was accomplished. Maisie gave her dining music with her breakfast, having figured out how to play Happy Birthday. By herself. Finn helped, too. Ree k...

Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Sunday, June 28, 2015. It's What Fun Is. Us girls headed straight for Wicked and Colossus, two rides of which Maisie had chickened out on last year. She was determined to master them this go around, and she and Danyn both did, successfully! I was proud of their bravery. Meanwhile, Teag was taking the two littles on airplanes, spaceships and roadsters. We took another little break to head to the USANA pavilion for ice cream and the drawing. Not exactly wh...

Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Sunday, October 5, 2014. While our girls weren't perfect angels, we never discovered entire boxes of Cheerios stashed under their beds. We never had to repeatedly clean up toothpaste messes from them when they decided to smear themselves and any nearby furniture with a pilfered tube of Kid's Crest. On several occasions. We also never had a child his age successfully wield a pair of scissors to open an ill-gotten Nutrigrain bar. Gettin' Fit with Finn!

Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. The Power of Words. I gave each kid a different color of post it note, and we had an FHE about looking for the good in each other. Not just the obvious, surface things, but really. Not only have the kids seemed very excited to get new messages, they've been actively plastering them to other members of the family all day. Less than 24 hours later, their posters look like this:. The Property in a Day. Even Rory got in on the action,...

Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Monday, September 22, 2014. It was a good time to visit with members while we all worked towards a common goal. And Finn did his fair share of entertaining people. Tuesday, September 9, 2014. The Pooptacular Property Trip. I was solo on this particular camping trip, as Teag was stuck working convention, and then flying the boss back to California afterwards. As such, I didn't bring up the trailer; we all camped out in the shed instead. We arrived...It wa...

Out of altitude and common sense at the same time. Saturday, February 21, 2015. This year for Valentine's Day, the primary decided to host another family dance. We had a couple of sickies at our house, but we braved through it and went so that we could be supportive. As before, all the kids had a fun time playing and dancing, and Maisie even got into the spirit with her cousin Henry. Finn, per his usual, went from one person to the next to dance with, being the social butterfly that he is. I know some pe...
