March 1st.  Ben got the opportunity to promote MGySgt Hedke. The Hedkes are friends of ours from church, and Brian and Ben worked together at Ben’s previous job at the wing.  Max and Hazel played with their girls and I tried to take pictures and keep everyone alive on a very breezy day.

Late February.  Watching for planes at the Kadena golf course for lunch since we were on base for Hazel’s gymnastics.  It overlooks the flight line and we got too see many fighter planes take off and land.  I didn’t get pictures of the planes because they scared Hazel, and I needed both hands for hugging.  Also, the pigeons were really aggressive and pounced if I got distracted at all.  Not exactly a pleasant lunch, but the kids had fun.
