2016 Olympics, here we come!

Kennedy had a break through in gymnastics today, her coach said. She is almost able to do a back bridge kick over all by herself, the first in her class. She also can do a pullover and a back hip circle on the bars by herself. Her coach is leaving to go to college in a couple of weeks and Kennedy will be moving up to the next level - Tumbleweeds. She will be one of the 2 youngest in that class. Normally they are at least 6, but usually 7. She will be able to compete with in the gym in about 6 months. But she has to be 7 before she can do any real competitions. She amazes me. I don't think I could ever do these things. I am glad that she likes it so much and that we don't have to push her into it. She has no fear about doing anything, which is good. (Scary too sometimes.) Hey, maybe she'll keep up with it, maybe not, but at least she's having fun right now.

We have also ended our heat wave earlier this week. We are having temps in the low 70s, high 60s. So much nicer than before. Sorry to those of you in Michigan.

Tim on his reduction board. They did not find any reason whatsoever to take his rank. They aknowledged that he still has a lot to learn, but that he's deserving of having his rank. So they are transferring him with rank intact. Unfortunately, we don't get any choice in that. They won't let us transfer off post. They kept him in the same brigade, but moved him to a fdifferent company. He will also be working under somebody this time, giving him the opportunity to get on the job training. Don't know if they are still trying to kick him out of not yet. We kind of hope so. We are both ready to be done with it.
