April Quarantine in Pictures

I dropped a dumbbell on my foot and didn't break anything...I consider that a win. 

I cut Henry's hair with dog scissors and not to toot my own horn, but TOOT! TOOT! It looks good!
And then we had a tornado...in the middle of the stay-at-home order... we had to shelter-in-place...
Five minutes after the tornado sirens went off, I had a scheduled zoom meeting with three of my students...


So there I was...hunkered down in the bathroom with three kids, a guinea pig and a shitzu trying to keep calm enough to calm my students down. 

It went something like, "ok, guys. Those are the sirens again. Everyone has an adult with them, right?? Ok. I'm going to end our zoom and I want you to go right to your adult, ok?? OK?? Ok, good. Ok, I'm going see you all tomorrow, ok??"
Here's the tornado that touched down about 3.5 miles from Camp Pinchot. This one had me nervous. 

But, aside from the tornado, we had some had really nice days in April...


Of course, I can't leave out  the virtual school days...they typically start like this...
...and end up more like this...
We're hanging in there though! 
Hope everyone else is 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!
