February 2025

This winter has felt like a long one. Very cold, lots of snow – all the things. We’ve been trying to keep it cozy inside, but cabin fever is setting in. There have been a few highlights.

In January, Lauren had her winter band concert, which was excellent and she sat in the first row!

Sophie joined the basketball team! She started as the manager, but they didn’t have enough players, so she was soon a member of the full team. Having never played before she and the team were really good sports and she actually enjoyed it. She even made a game day promo!

Dave and I went to the Commodores’s Ball at the Union League and had a chance to get fancy.

Lauren also got fancy for her Valentine’s Day dance

Erin brought the college friend group back together with a karaoke birthday party!

And to top off the end of winter – the EAGLES WON THE SUPERBOWL!

So, all in all, a pretty good end of winter.

I got a little time away in sunny Miami!! with Aleen and Sallie at the end of January. We were joined by a few other folks this time – a few friends of Aleen’s from Charlottesville and our college friend Kara. All in the spirit of women’s basketball – to support Unrivaled, a new off season league for women based in Miami. It was a great combo of basketball, eating, music, more eating, and general relaxing… ahhh

Not our typical girls get away, but so much fun all the same!
