iceman or goose?

What do you say? The glasses scream Iceman, but the goatee and humor make me lean towards Goose. My younger brother, Chris, is in flight school. He decided to fly to Btown to visit us for one of his cross-country flights.

He flew in and flew out like a summer breeze. In fact, I think it was the summer breeze that brought him. We only had him for 18 hours, but what a fun 18 hours we had! He is the first sibling on my side of the family that has come to visit us, and thus has reached favorite brother status. I'm not shy about saying it, even if it was a flight-school requirement to come all this way :)



The coolest part about him flying here is that he let the boys climb in the airplane and stand on the wings. They loved it, I loved it.




Chris left to fly home on Sunday. He told the boys that he would wave the plane wings when he flew away to say goodbye. He did indeed, you can see it in the video below. Later that day, Beckham kept saying he was sad that his uncle Chris had to fly away, his Nursery leader told me so. Beckham has found and is still playing with a toy airplane. We love you Chris and are so proud of you and feel so lucky that you flew all the way here just to see us!

Way to go Chris! I had no idea he was doing that... I loved hearing your boys in the background. Oh I hope I get to see them over the holidays... will I?

There's nothing about Chris like Iceman but the glasses. He is a total Gooseman. I'm so glad he came out to spend a short time with you and so glad that he came home safely. Won't it be fun when we all can fly with him someday?

What a great experience for the boys, and so cool that Chris could come to see you in his plane. As I watched the video and saw Chris wave goodbye with the wings I recalled the words that Beckham said later, "I miss my Uncle Chris, and I am sad". Goodbyes suck, way to go Chris for giving the boys that fun experience! Beckham we love you!

Okay THAT is cool, Andrea. No wonder Beckham misses Uncle Chris so much.
