Stars at U13 World Festival

We had a great time this weekend at the U13 World Festival. Aoife had an amazing tournament and really put on an incredible performance in goal - despite the heat and being the only goalie for the entire weekend! Its been so fun watching her work and improve over the years!!

Lax for the Cure

Emmy and her Capital team played in Lax for the Cure this weekend in Princeton. It was a great tournament with some really tough competition. The girls did great - they all wore AC on their arms for Amanda. I think her fighting spirit was with them throughout the weekend.

A trip to NC

 We were not able to go to Amanda's celebration of life last weekend because of Emmy's state title game so we went to see Justin and the kids this weekend. We stayed at their friends' lake cabin and didn't see them all that much but it was good to be there. Things feel very strange and sad right now.

The last day of school 2022

Today was the last day of school for Declan and the last day of 3rd grade! Emmy finished up her freshman year and Aoife finished 7th grade this week as well - Aidan's last day of his Junior year was a few days ago! 
What a crazy year it's been. Hard to believe that these kids completed most of their school year in masks and only really saw their teacher's faces during the last few months. They even had friends who they barely saw without a mask until the end of the year. Everyone has really really done so well - it's hard to imagine the strain that these kids have been under for the past two years and they have been expected to academically perform like life was normal. I'm glad that this year is over and that we will get a good summer reset. Next year will come quickly - this summer is jam packed and Brendan will be in Alabama for flight training the entire time - but I'm looking forward to having a more normal year in the fall!
