Life Lately: January 2023 Edition

2023 we are glad to see you!  We rang in the New Year on our roof with another spectacular Naples fireworks show 

The Wildcats headed to Aviano the first weekend in January

Melissa and Sherri joined me for a basketball road trip to Rome 

Emma stayed in Rome for the evening with Kennedy and family

Reunion in Rota!  So happy to see Kathy again!

Colleen, Sherri, Amy, and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Villa Matilde

When I told my family I wanted some pictures of their Saturday evening adventures in Rota, this is what I got... 

They did not fly back home until Sunday night, so the teams spent the afternoon touring Seville 

MLK Weekend Girls' Trip to Barcelona

It was my 10th MLK Weekend with the ladies and we had a BLAST in Barcelona! 

We finished our second quarter reports cards and caught a Friday afternoon flight

Happy 18th Birthday, Emma!

 We have an official adult!  I do not know how it can be possible,  but our favorite Emma Louise is now 18!

She started the day with her traditional birthday donut
