It was a cold Thanksgiving weekend, but luckily we escaped to San Juan for 48 hours of sun, sand and saltwater. We didn’t leave the resort except for an evening in Old San Juan, but it was the perfect respite after a very busy fall!
Merry Christmas ’25
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
Georgetown Weekend
We spent plenty of quality time in and around Georgetown, hitting our first basketball game of the season and spending quality time with friends and fellow Hoyas at home and on campus. We hit the hot spots, including M Street and The Tombs – just like the ’90s!
Fall Photos
So rarely does the fall schedule come together with all the baseball, soccer and football. But the stars aligned for one fateful Saturday morning to capture some shots in the very picturesque Old Town Alexandria.
Double the Baseball
After an 18-mo hiatus, both boys were playing baseball during the same season. Like Colin’s third-grade team, Owen drew the Yankees, while Colin was all Stags all the time for fall ball. It was a lot of time on the ball field, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Fall into Soccer
For the second straight fall, O and his DEFC Atletico team gave it their all during soccer season. With a fully staffed up team, they got to work as a central unit throughout the season. On to winter training!
Football Highlights
For the first time, both boys played flag football. Colin and the Arlington Bills sought a fifth Super Bowl title, but came up just short in the title game. And Owen, on a new team, made it all the way to the semifinals during their first run together!
Record Breaking Halloween
We did Squid Games this year, inspired by the Stags’ Cooperstown team pins. It was a record-breaking Halloween, with C raking in nearly 20 pounds of candy in an all-out sprint around the neighborhood. O ventured out near our old house with his friends and was decidedly more relaxed – though got a respectable amount…
Fine Number Nine
It’s birthday season, with O soon following C. His friend party was at home with some sports video game battles, pizza and cake. Monday birthdays are never fun, but we made the most of it with presents!
