Happy New Year!

 2022 has been quite a year! In January we had a huge snowstorm and many basketball games and wrestling meets!


In February Aidan turned 17 and competed in the Virginia State Wrestling Meet:


March had soooo many lacrosse games and Emmy's first Varsity start!



In April, we celebrated Aoife and Brendan's birthdays and Aidan and Ella had their Junior Prom!



In May, Potomac Lacrosse won the MAC Championship, Yorktown won the Liberty district, we finally got the garden put in and we spent Memorial Day weekend in an old Mill and watching Emmy compete in the National School girls tournament.



June was a big month! Emmy turned 15, Yorktown won the Girls Lacrosse State Title, Brendan graduated from the War College and the summer  travel lacrosse season kicked off!



July was really fun but we missed having Brendan around - he was in Alabama for flight training for the Army. We took a long weekend at Rehoboth beach, Emmy played in the All American Tournament and 
we celebrated the 4th of July!


August saw the beginning of football and field hockey as well as the first day of school! We also went hiking and sailing!





September was very full of field hockey games, football games and many outings! We went to the Renaissance Festival and celebrated Brendan's Change of Command. Declan turned 10!!




In October Aidan and Emmy both had Homecoming, we celebrated Senior Night at Potomac and Halloween. The Freshman and JV Field Hockey both finished their seasons undefeated!






In November, Emmy and I traveled to Dallas for lacrosse, Potomac football made it to the State Semifinal game, Stars Lacrosse finished up their fall season, I went with Declan's class to visit Jamestown, and we drove up to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving!




 
December was a fantastic Holiday season!! Lots of wrestling, basketball and indoor track! Aidan received All-State honors, and we celebrated Christmas all together as a family!! 





An incredible year - so many fun and exciting experiences and, just like any year, some tough times as well! Here's to a great 2022 and an even better 2023! Lots of big changes coming!
