Scary moment at the local airport
There is a small local airport in town called the Dekalb/Peachtree airport. They have a very nice park that sits back about 100 yards from the runway right under the air traffic control tower. Braylen of course is a big fan of this park and we go there often. Well last night I was cooking dinner and heard there was something going on with a small plane. So I stopped to catch the story and there was a small plane that was having landing gear problems and was running out his fuel so he could do an emergency landing. I got to watch the plane land safely as the back tires did give out on the plane but landed on its belly.

Future home site
Jodi took some pictures over the weekend of where our new house will go. The first picture is in front and the second picture is from the back of the property looking toward the street. You can see it is pretty steep but that is because in order to have a basement, it needs to be built into a hill. Our backyard should be pretty flat, which is not easy to find on basement lots.

New house!!!!!!
I will post in greater detail tonight after we offically sign off on the paperwork but over the weekend Jodi, Braylen, and I went to a Pulte sub division and put down a deposit on a new house. Of course right now it is only a pile of dirt but when complete it will look something like the picture above. More to follow.
These are some pictures I took from another home that is for sale in the community. These are up in the front of the sub for all to use.

Braylen’s First golf trip
Not this past weekend, but the weekend prior on Sunday I went to take Braylen to a local park. When we arrived there it turned out to be more of a baseball type complex with a little play area in the middle between ball fields. Well this park overlooked an executive golf course that I had played many times before (I did not know this park was next door). So after about only 20 minutes at the park Braylen seemed to be getting bored as most of the kids were heading home from baseball practice. So I asked Braylen if he wanted to go hit some golf balls, which he said sure.
So we headed over only to find that the driving range was pretty full, which made me a little nervous with Braylen there. As I was paying for a small bucket of golf balls I asked the guy behind the counter if in the future I could take Braylen out onto the course with me. He said of course, and as a matter of fact you could go right now…….So I looked at Braylen and said do you want to hit golf balls or drive around with me in a golf cart? Well I’m sure you guessed Braylen jumped at the chance to go drive a golf cart.
Being that it was Sunday evening the course was not busy at all and Braylen and I headed off to play golf. I got Braylen to actually hit a few balls which he did really good at but he was more interested in pushing the pedals on the cart and racking out the sand traps. He did a wonderful job at listening to me and following the rules I set for him.
It was such a great bonding experience and I really didn’t care what I shot, as a matter of fact I didn’t even keep score. I was just so happy to be there with Braylen and to watch him. So I’m sure I will have to take him back there or to another course soon to try it again. I will just have to go at the end of the day when its not so busy so I don’t have to worry about pace of play and others out there that might hit a stray shot.
