First Outdoor Track Meet

The first outdoor track meet of Wesley's IMG season was at Braden River HS today for the Pirate Booty Invitational. He had a nice cheering section with me and Grandmommy, plus Vicki and Ellen from church in these awesome shirts! (Jump Wesley Jump) 

Wesley was seeded 2/34 kids in the meet. He camp in at 1.62 and cleared it on the first attempt. 

Then he cleared 1.72, 1.82 and 1.87 all on first attempts. This was his 1.87 jump. 

He couldn't quite get over 1.92. But he finished second overall for the meet!!!! And no shin splint pain today which is great. 

 

Fort Myers to Boca Grande to Bradenton

My week started with worship at Cypress Lake UMC in Fort Myers. Their children's choir sang, they had a baptism and they were recognized for being one of the top givers to the children's home. 

On the way home I popped by Boca Grande for a quick visit, including a labyrinth and a walk on the beach. 

Tuesday we had a district staff meeting over lunch. So nice to gather all in one space together. 

For Ash Wednesday, I was at Trinity UMC in Bradenton as a mobile office and got my ashes there from our former intern, Robert Bledsoe who is the pastor there. 

 

Year of the Horse

We marked Lunar New Year on Tuesday with some presents and chicken fried rice for dinner. 

Davis has already put together his new Lego set. 

 

Lego Flowers

I was able to put together my Valentine's Day presents from Daryl over the holiday weekend - love these pretty flower sets. 

 

Impromptu Beach Trip

After a few church meetings yesterday, I stopped by Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island for a labyrinth walk and a walk down to the lighthouse and the beach. It was so good to get out and stretch. 

 

Wesley Valentine's Celebration

Wesley got to visit Lydia up in Fruitland Park this weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day together. 

He decorated his whole trunk for the holiday!!! 💗

 

Valentine's Day

I spent Saturday morning at the yoga studio and then walking the labyrinth. 

Then Daryl, Davis and I went out to hike a bit at Myakka River State Park. It was free admission for the holiday weekend. It was a nice relaxing day.
