Lacrosse for Life

So Maxwell is bald...but for a good cause! Yesterday Lacrosse for Life held its annual fundraising event. The premise is simple...the non-profit will donate $1000 to Boston Children's Hospital for every college lacrosse player that shaves his head on March 1st.

Lycoming lacrosse had 19 athletes participate. That's $19,000 (just from Lyco) that's going to the top pediatric research hospital in the nation! I couldn't be more proud of the Warriors that stepped up and joined a cause that is so much bigger than themselves!

It's a good day to be a Warrior!!
Maxwell was bummed that he didn't make the group pic but he was pretty sick
 so he didn't hang around too long after the head shaving!

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!
