Happy Homecoming!!

Aoife had Junior year Homecoming last night!! She and her friends met at Georgetown waterfront for photos before heading to dinner at Sequoia with the Junior class and then off to the dance!!  So much fun and the MOST gorgeous night!!!

 

Quick New England Trip!

 Aoife and I flew up to Boston for a quick New England trip this week!! We got to see Emmy and Aidan and I gave Aoife a tour of Tufts and Medford - highlighting the two most important places - Chi Omega house and Redbones BBQ in Davis square!! Aidan drove up to Holy Cross and we all went out to dinner together at an awesome Italian place in Worcester - we definitely will be back! Add some college tours in the mix and it was a fun quick visit!!

Potomac vs Georgetown Visitation

Aoife had her first game of the 2025 season with Potomac Varsity Field Hockey today! It was a beautiful day and so much fun to be out on the field again! It's so much fun to watch them play and to be able to watch Aoife use her size and speed!

 

Everyone is Back to School!

 Everyone is back to school!! Declan (7th) and Aoife (11th) started today, Aidan (15th) started yesterday and Emmy(13th) started last week.  Declan and Aoife are now at the same school and will leave together in the morning for the bus - with Aoife driving!! This is the first time in 17 years that I haven't taken anyone to school on the first day - that being said, I will be at school this afternoon for Aoife's first field hockey game. I won't miss out on it entirely! I thought that I would feel sad but I really don't! I am so proud of them all and know they are well prepared for the year ahead. I'm happy Declan and Aoife are together on the same campus - hopefully they will see each other since Aoife is a peer leader in the intermediate school. Go Panthers, Bantams and Crusaders!!

Happy Fall!!

Our 25th Anniversary!

Today is our 25th Anniversary!! Since tonight is also the beginning of recruiting for Aoife, we went out to an early dinner so we could be back to sit with her while we waited for midnight. We went to the Occidental in DC and it was incredible! After dinner, we took a short walk up to the Washington Monument - the evening and sunset were just gorgeous! Hard to believe it's been 25 years - truly feels like almost just yesterday!

Potomac Field Hockey!!

Field Hockey games start in a few days!! Aoife is a junior this year and #1 on the field! Can't wait to see them play and get back on the field with the camera!!

 

Apple Picking - Homestead Farm, MD

Aoife and I went apple picking today! It was a gorgeous day and we tried a new farm in Poolesville, MD called Homestead Farm.  It was really great! Easy parking and beautiful rows of trees! There was even a huge area of blackberries and we picked about half a bucket's worth!

There was a cute farm store that sold vegetables and other farm items! We bought corn, honey from the orchard and a caramel apple - which was eaten before I could get a photo! There are still plenty of apples and some weren't even ready to be picked! Looks like at least another month of picking!
