Uncle Andy and Aunt Alyson’s wedding was great - perfect weather, beautiful ceremony (except when part of the chuppa fell on Uncle Andy’s head - ouch!) and lots of fun all the way around. Emma enjoyed dressing up (not really) and seeing all of her New England family (really).

We got home over a week ago and it has taken me this long to recover enough to get back to my blog. Summer is great - the vacations, traveling and activities - but there is a secret part of me that craves the structure and ritual that fall and the back to school season brings. Even though I don’t have anyone going back to school in my house, I have some internal clock that knows it is time to refocus and re-establish a rhythm for my life.

We had a wonderful summer - I can’t think of a better one - filled with family visits and celebrations and a good amount of relaxation. Now I find myself looking forward to a few slower months where we can get some work done on the house, I can get caught up at my non-mommy job and we can just enjoy the passage of time.
