Wow, summer happened! Let’s review!
Molly’s Current Obsession with Pregnant Ladies
You guys, pregnant people are EVERYWHERE! I’m not yet one of them, but have you noticed that?! Everywhere I turn, there’s a beautiful baby bump!
Summer Vacation
In July, we all went to the vineyard to celebrate the Fourth and be together. There were relay races, birthday celebrations, illegal lobster bakes, and a parade (not pictured, I was too busy dancing). Of course there were tears and laughter, quiet moments, rowdy ones too. It was, as the vineyard always is, a beautiful tangle of roots growing deeper.

First First Response Blog Post
June’s month in review is forthcoming. In the meantime, you can enjoy my first First Response blog post. Please feel free to share it, comment on it, etc.
Month in Review: April
April was overwhelming. There was a lot of loss. There was a lot of traveling. I’m whipped out. I don’t even know what Matthew was up to all month. This post is pretty much all about me.
Mum’s 60th Birthday Celebration
My mum turned 60! She is having a year of celebrations, including spending a week at the Captain Morse House in Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard, where she invited women from every part of her life to join her for a retreat.
New Orleans
It went like this: I had some roll-over vacation days, and my supervisor informed me at the beginning of March that they would expire by the end of the month. So Matthew booked us a trip to New Orleans for a few days! I’m so lucky to have married a man who can make stuff like that happen. I would have been just paralyzed by choice, but he takes care of business!
Project Update: 6 Months
First things first: I’m not pregnant.
Of course, there are more details. Let me share them with you! Don’t read further unless you want to hear about menstrual cycles, okay? Actually, maybe skip to the end, because I talk about feelings in the second-to-last paragraph.
