How Did I Get Here? My Amazing Genealogy Journey

Here's pictures of our beautiful girl back from injury. In the fall, she broke a bone in her left foot which took a long time to heal. These are pictures from her second competition of the season, Pink Invitational 2020. She's getting stronger every week. I loved watching her compete and hanging out with her teammates. They are so supportive of one another. No medals this time for her but she gained a bunch of her confidence back.  She competed late on Saturday February 22, 2020 so that involved an overnight stay in Philadelphia. I don't like driving long distances at night especially if I'm tired. The following day we spent time sightseeing and checking out a Blick art supply store that was near our hotel. OMG! If you love doing art, then you love Blick! We could have spent the whole day there, trying out different art supplies, but we had to make that drive back home.  Bob and his squirrel assistant are looking at me like, "Who the...

I am so behind on posting these pictures. It's been a busy competition season for our kids, with Noah and soccer and Alyssa with gymnastics. Every weekend it's been busy with something related to one or both kids. I am not complaining though. It's been an absolute joy being able to see them compete.  Here's some pictures from the World Class Spring Challenge that took place on March 2, 2019 in Clifton Park, NY. Results Bars:  8.150 Beam: 9.050 Vault: 9.425 Floor: 9.325 All Around: 35.950 3rd place! Team results: 2nd place! I am on vacation so can I now take some time out to play catch up on my blog. Hooray! I'll be posting more later today or tomorrow.

This past weekend my husband and I enjoyed watching our daughter compete in the 2019 NY Cup Gymnastics Invitational at the Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena. She achieved a new personal All Around Best of 36.300. Awesome job Alyssa! Beam Routine:  9.050 -10th place Floor Routine:  9.40 -4th place Vault:  9.250 -9th place Bars routine:  8.6  -9th place All Around Score:  36.300 6th place We are very proud of our girl.  Her team had a great competition too. They came in 1st place. Great job, ladies!

Thankfully, the Winter weather held off long enough for my daughter and I to make it to Mt. Pocono, PA this past weekend. No problems getting there on Saturday. Coming back, I was very thankful that I was among a caravan of folks traveling on I-81N behind a salt truck. Thank you Mr. Salt Truck for allowing us to make it home safely. How did ladybug do? She had a real solid performance and she even made a new personal best in vault of 9.450! Woohoo! Looking a little worried. Cheer up ladybug, you got this.  5th place on beam. Awesome job! Here's another sweet picture. This was for all around. Alyssa tied for 9th place with one of her teammates while another teammate came in 7th on her left. Her scores: Vault: 9.450   Bars:  8.800   Beam:  8.800 Floor:  9.000 All around:  36.050 Awesome job, sweetie :)

Results: Bars:  8.850 --7th place Vault:  8.8 --9th place Beam:  9.0 --3rd place Floor Exercise:  9.6 --1st place All Around:  36.25 --3rd place (New personal best!) I was so happy that I was able to capture a picture of her winning 1st place on floor exercise.  She was beaming! Here's a video of her floor routine. Congratulations to all the Level 3 ladies of STGA as well. They took 2nd place in the team competition. 

It's been awhile since I've shared about how the kids are doing in their individual sports. This whole running people around to their respective practices and games is serious business. People call me to make plans and the first thing I have to do is check my phone for my Google calendar to see where and when I have to be somewhere. My washing machine is constantly washing gymnastic leotards and soccer jerseys. I am not complaining. My husband and I are so proud of these amazing young people. Noah with his dad. Number 14 is our big guy. You can see how much he's grown. These pictures are from a tournament that Noah participated in November with his indoor soccer league. They took 2nd place! Nice job, guys! Miss Alyssa has been doing her thing in regards to gymnastics. She just competed in her third meet for the season this past Saturday. For this post, I'm going to share pictures and results from her first two competitions. Tomorrow, if ...
