Spring Break Girls Trip 2022

Viv and I had our own Spring Break 2022 trip but unlike the boys, we slept in comfy beds, ate good food, drank good drinks and got in the hot tub almost every night. I know the boys had a great week, but I'm pretty sure Viv and I won!

I had forgotten how beautiful the spring in San Antonio can be. We had perfect weather to do some touristy things and to spend time with the family. Aside from the recent surgeries, everyone at home seemed happy and healthy. It was an easy and calm trip...perfect for what Viv and I had in mind for spring break. 

And then there was Parker!! That girl is such a fantastic mess! She's a firecracker packaged up in an itty, bitty body. She's the best parts of Eric and Kiley combined but she's also her own little person. I love her just like she's my own, except I don't have to get her to sleep at night. Aunt Ida FOR THE WIN! 

Parks turned 2 with all of the people that love her the most...

And the grand finale....
Sea World!
14 years old and her first time at Sea World! 
Taking her was soooo much easier than taking the boys when they were little littles!






Until next time, Texas! 
Love you!

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!
