Helicopter Crash

Today at just after 11am one of the AeroMed helicopters crashed while doing training excerises. Story details can be found here:

I was in the building at the time of the crash and help in the Incident Command center so I spent the entire day there, scribing for the team. It was a very long and stressful day but everyone survived the crash and the hospital staff all did an AMAZING job. All the training and drills really paid off.

Just wanted to let everyone know that all is okay and I'm fine.

I'm Home

It was a fun week in Ludington, but I'm glad to be home. We had a great time and I will never think of the phrases "Call me" and "10 feet" the same way. :-)

Here are some of the photos from the class:

The top left and bottom right are two of the students with their little ones at the carseat check. Aren't they adorable?

And the best news? The entire class passed and we now have 12 new technicians and one new instructor in the state of Michigan!

Ludington

First day of CPS class here in Ludington. Everything went well and I finally feel I'm getting the feel of the new curriculum. This due in large part because the team I'm teaching with is great and really has things in order. We were even out a little early today! We've already found some great restaurants. Had some amazing ribs tonight for dinner. We also took a quick walk on the pier here along the beach. Was really windy but was a great photo op.

Two quick pictures before I head off to bed for a busy day tomorrow:

Me with most of the instructor team. Diane is behind the camera in this one:

It is FINISHED!!

I started working on this blanket for our niece Rochelle, back in January, when I thought her due date was in May. Her due date was actually April and then little Alana decided to arrive 2 weeks early, so I needless to say I did not have this done on time. I finished it a week ago and I think Alana is already a month old so I'm excited to give it to Rochelle and Andy tomorrow.

The stitch is a fan and feather pattern and was a lot of fun to knit.
