2022 in review

We started the year with Julia's very first UDA college dance team nationals in Orlando. The team was very young and inexperienced but they still won 3rd place in Jazz, 3rd place in Game Day and 5th place in Pom!!

Truly an experience she will never forgot...and neither will we! It was so much fun!!

While we were there my brother had some life threatening health issues but miraculously he pulled through and is doing well...

Julia's team won their 11th straight New England Regionals. She was just getting over Covid too and still danced beautifully...

We took a quick trip to Florida in April so Nicholas and Gianna could tour University of Tampa and Florida Gulf Coast. Both have such beautiful campuses. It felt so good to be in the sunshine and warm weather...

Julia won Rookie of the Year...

May 1st was College Decision Day for Nicholas and he chose...

Julia finished up her freshman year at college...

Gianna had her Junior Prom and looked stunning...

Julia had five iron infusions because she's anemic. (She's still anemic and needs more infusions.)

Gianna had a fabulous year at dance...

We saw Backstreet Boys for the 10th time and it was oppressively hot and humid...but such a great show as always...

Nicholas turned the big TWENTY-ONE!! Hard to believe he's an official adult now but he'll always be my little boy...

We drove all the way to Kentucky in one day to drop Nicholas off at University of Louisville. He's loving college life. I'm so happy he's having the college experience...

Then a few days later we dropped Julia off for her second year at Endicott. I don't ever remember being that happy to go back to school. She LOVES it there...
