Swimmer Girl

Last weekend Viv swam her first meet with the Eglin Eels! You've never seen someone so excited about coming in 16th out of 40 swimmers in the 50 backstroke!! She had a blast and is swimming two more races tomorrow. Finally! We've got another swimmer in the family and a much better one than I was at her age!
New kid? What new kid?? 
She swam up with the big girls in two relays and held her own! 

The boys told Viv that if she had been able to do her backstroke flip after her first 25 meters she would've stayed in first place in her heat, so basically, she came in first. 
Interesting logic. 
She totally bought into it too

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!
