Snow Days!!

We have an extended winter break!! It snowed Sunday night and through the day on Monday - about 10-12 inches! So much snow that Tuesday was also a snow day!  Wednesday Emmy has a 2 hour delay, Declan has no school and poor Aoife has to go to school all day long!!

Potomac Lacrosse at Spooky Nook 2025

 This weekend Aoife and the Potomac lacrosse team got to compete in the IL Women Indoor National Lacrosse Championships at Spooky Nook.  Emmy and I went last year with Stone Ridge but they chose not to participate this year and Potomac got a chance to be there.  We escaped snow this year - a storm came in a day after we left but it was sooooooo cold!! We had a great time - although it was a quick trip. The girls played at 3 and 6 on day 1 - and went 1-1. We had an awesome team dinner at Lancaster Brewing  The food was really great and the service was excellent. I think I would make a special trip to go back when we are up in the area again! On day 2 the girls played really hard but fell short. Only having 2 subs for the entire weekend finally caught up to them. Super proud of how hard they played - definitely can compete on the National stage!

Potomac GBB - Florida Update

 I love that Aoife's basketball coach posts instagram updates throughout the day!! It feels like I am there with them! 

An awesome trip to Florida! Going 3-0 and winning the tournament - AND getting to spend a day at Universal - sounds like a successful business trip to me! Go Panthers!

Merry Christmas 2024!!

 Merry Christmas!!! I know that I probably say this every year but today was the best Christmas ever! The kids woke up around 8:00 and I spent some time before they got up just relaxing with the cat in front of the tree. We opened presents and had so much fun. The most wanted gifts of the year this year were - Aidan - rock climbing harness, Emmy - Shark hairdryer, Aoife - Northface jacket and Declan - VR headset.

We had a big turkey dinner and Tony and my parents joined us in celebrating. We are so lucky to all be able to spend time together. It's been such a great winter break so far and it's so nice to have everyone under one roof again! <3
