It was a hectic move from Richmond to Massachusetts with a new baby and all, but thank god for David, Tully, and Bob who flew from Buffalo to help Damien load our entire apartment into a Penske truck and drive it and one of our cars to Mass. I was entirely useless and they took good care of me, and I thank those guys with all of my heart, muscles, and sanity. So here we are staying with my folks during this transition period of our lives in Agawam, and the new grandparents are certainly enjoying the little sweet pea while we are grateful to have a wonderful place to stay as we get situated. A week after we got here we drove up to Canada where a three-week old Juliet got to meet the Johnson side of her family for the annual family reunion on Wolfe (aka Mud) island. We had a beautiful few days with the Johnsons, Lisowskis, Skorges, and Wus. I did a lot of relaxing, eating, and mothering while everyone else was fishing, sailing, swimming, kayaking, cooking, biking, and adoring the baby all around me. It was a great time.
The Mud Island crew this year. What a bunch!

Who you'll find in my arms.
