Back to Work
Tuesday and Wednesday this week I ventured back to work for 2 days. I had promised my students in 10th grade that I would show up for their 10th grade math MCAS if at all possible. Thanks to Jeremy and cousin Laura I was able to keep that promise. (THANK YOU BOTH!!) It was tough …

This is a little more mushy than my usual posts, but my friend Amanda from HMS had this posted on her blog and it made me tear up immediately, so I have to share: Here’s a link to her blog post, if you want to find out more.
Other adventures…
Being a stay-at-home mom for a while has left me free to have other random adventures. Today I helped add “accomplice to breaking & entering” to the list of activities Oliver can claim to have done in the first few weeks of his life. To protect the innocent I won’t name names or post details, …

Date Night
Grandpa Ron & Grandma Nancy came to Boston and have sent us out on a date night. (thank you!!) I’m in the car with Jeremy on the way to Ten Tables, but part of my heart is back in the condo…
Things Come Full Circle
Five weeks ago I wrote about the death of my grandmother, Marie. She was born in 1923 and missed the birth of her first great-grandchild by a mere 20 days. Oliver will never meet Marie, although even if she had lived to see him born he wouldn’t have been able to see the fiery woman …
