Mollman Visit, Raging Waters, Swimming Lessons... · posted Aug 16, 07:08 PM
We’ve had a busy few weeks and we are getting closer to finding out where we will be in a few months. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride. We are waiting on Jeremiah’s linguist retraining application information that we should be getting the beginning of September. There are no more Chinese slots available so for now we are leaning towards Korean. If Jeremiah wanted to go back to avionics we’d be going to Moody AFB Georgia….NO WAY! That won’t be happening. They called him the other day and told them those were his orders. So if the retraining doesn’t work out it will mean something different than the Air Force for us as we don’t want to go to GA and he doesn’t really want to be on the flight line again. I won’t go into too much detail as our plans have been changing weekly! Hopefully we’ll have some good news come September since we could be leaving as early as late October.
Susan, Tim, Ben, Anna, Stephen, Rachel and Drew all came down for a very short weekend visit. We tried to pack a lot of stuff in that short time. We went out to eat and then went to Raging Waters. It was a lot of fun. Even the 20 minute storm we got to sit through was fun because it cleared out the park a little bit and then the sun came back out. Then I made some Huevos Rancheros for dinner and took everybody to the game. I got to stay home and clean (wahoo!) but it was worth not having to make those guys park a mile away from the stadium and then have to sit in traffic.
Davin was just going down on our laps a few times then I asked if he wanted to go on his own. He said no…I pretended like I didn’t hear that and I gave him a gentle push! He went down by himself and started yelling “LETS GO AGAIN, AND I’M GOING BY MYSELF!” He went down about 50 times and started going down face first.

On Monday morning Davin woke up at 6 a.m. and had what looked to be pink eye. He either got it at Raging Waters or from someone who came to visit. I haven’t heard about anyone else having it so Raging Waters is probably the culprit. We had to cancel his fist swimming lesson and take him to the doctor instead. He, of course, now has it in both eyes but it’s fine during the day, just annoys him when he wakes up and can’t really open his eyes! He looks like he got into a little fight in these pictures!

Here is Davin at his first private swimming lesson. This place teaches the swim float swim technique. It’s actually pretty amazing to watch the kids. There are 1 year olds that can swim fully clothed and with shoes on. At 1 year old they can learn how to swim, turn over and float on their back to get air, turn over swim more until they get to the edge and pull themselves up. Davin has never liked water in his face but during his 15 minute lesson today he did it repeatedly to grab rings from the pool even though he would get water up his nose and cough. He did great and I can’t wait to see how he progresses. I’m just putting Brendin in a parent tot class since the private lessons are a little intense and they usually just cry a lot at that age.
We just got the Disney movie Fun and Fancy Free. I didn’t think Davin would like it this much but he laughed through about 80% of it, got the hiccups and could barely sit still!
