“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”

We have survived the first week of Test Pilot School and are happy to report that the transition into California living has been smooth. Last Friday, the school had a 1st Friday event so all the families could meet. Ashton was excited to see a LOT of little people her size to play with! On Saturday, the 'senior' class hosted a Road Rally where they had the junior class (ie: Brandon & his fellow classmates) and their families driving all over the base looking for random things. We're not quite sure how this happened, but out of six teams - we managed to win! Yay us!!

{In case you're wondering what this random picture is - this is the sight we see as we stare blankly across the barren desert ... aka Edwards Air Force Base. Jealous, aren't you?}

Ashton was also very excited last Friday when several packages arrived on our doorstep. Thank you all for all the fabulous pink things that she got! Even the bubble wrap was pink...
On a final, and extremely exciting, note ~ tonight Ashton *asked* to use her 'potty chair'. And - it was a success!! Now... let's hope this more than a one-time deal. Wish us luck!!
