With Viv being the last kid standing at home on Father's Day, she won favorite kid for sure. I mean, a Taco Bell hat AND tickets to the Biscuits game in Pensacola?? She won BIG.  Can you hear the laugh from there?!  The Montgomery Biscuits vs. The Pensacola Blue Wahoos  Happy, happy Father's Day 2021! 

Maxwell and Henry seem to be doing pretty well. I think they have that "work hard, play hard" thing down perfectly.  Saratoga, Wyoming Idaho Springs, Colorado Mount Bierstadt, Colorado 

At the end of May, right after the boys left for Colorado, we moved houses. Everyone asked why we would leave Camp Pinchot if we were staying in town. There were a couple of reasons. Pinchot was managed by Eglin AFB and we are now at Hurlburt. On top of that, Camp Pinchot is being closed to families now. It's too expensive to maintain and new officer housing is now ready on Eglin. We were the last family to live in our house. Shortly before we left, Clay told me that our main house will forever be known as the "Hanson House" and Henry's will always be "The Hen House". Nothing could make me happier than that.  It was bittersweet to say good-bye.  If a house had a soul, Camp Pinchot's would run wide and deep. A one hundred and ten year old house...if walls could talk. When we first decided to take the house in 2019, Matt and I agreed that because it was so isolated we'd have to make an effort to keep the kids engaged with friends and have as many peopl

Two days after Henry graduated from Collegiate, he and Maxwell headed off for their summer in Colorado. Matt went along for the two day drive and to get them settled in and then came back home for pack out and the big move. More on the move later... For now...here's Colorado! May 22, 2021 Not going to lie... watching them both drive away was tougher than I thought it would be Somewhere in Kansas... Hanging out with the VanZyl's the first night in Colorado The Lowry Biergarten in Denver...one of our favorite old haunts Henry's new place of employment...it's a beautiful, brand new facility The first grocery trip... ...and their first meal in their new digs... cheers to good decisions and a summer to always remember!
