Band of Brothers

Band of brothers is what Coach V preached in football at Bishop Machebeuf. He always told the boys that they were brothers on and off the field and that they would be for life. Man, was he right. These four are as tight as they were the first day they stepped onto the field together in Colorado. It was great to have them here for a week - they kept Matt and I laughing (and cooking...a lot!) the whole time!

Not a bad view
Matt took the boys fishing out on the Sweet Jody 






While they fished Viv and I had snowcones and wine at the harbor

We're so proud of these kids and already looking forward to next summer's visit!

Florida Farewell

Image
Our last sunset in Florida didn't disappoint.  Honestly, it wasn't an emotional farewell though.  I always felt like our time in Florida was fleeting. As a family, we transitioned the kids in and out of the house over summers, and in and out again. In two short years we transitioned through different schools and jobs and friends. These last two years especially, I felt like a transient. Never quite settled.  Now, it's time to settle. I'd like to plant some roots, even if they aren't deep and forever at our next assignment. Like us, they just need to be strong for the season.  Eglin AFB, Florida  1 June 2023

Knoxville TN

AmeriCorps and the real world called.   The day after we got back home from Colorado, Maxwell was off. It should've been two days after we got home, but we missed our original flight and...anyhow.  On that Tuesday morning, Matt and Henry went to work, and Maxwell, Viv and I loaded up the U-Haul and headed to Knoxville. Viv was so excited to be a part of this moving crew...she was always in school when he left for Lyco so this was her first official move-in. There was a lot of driving, a lot of sweat, and (as always) some tears, but the three of us got it done!  Go answer that call, Moose. Go out and do great things!! Tennessee River Line Project  Day 1!
