We made it to Austria!! Despite my best planning (neck pillow, eye mask, and only relaxing nature videos as stimulation), I had a rough time sleeping and am extremely jet-lagged…

So sweet! Spent the weekend with Juliette in New Haven, and got some practice with feeding and clothes changing. Surprisingly no poopy diapers while in our care, but a lot of false alarms. We also did a lot of rhythmic bouncing up and down the hallway when our girl got restless. It puts her right out though!

Today I was really behind on a bunch of work, but we were also having an annual summer work outing/celebration, so I somehow still dropped everything and did that…

The bachelorette party was excellent! We stayed at an AirBnB in Orleans, and the bridal party did a great job preparing different activities…

Getting ready for the bachelorette weekend in the Cape! I haven’t seen the bride in ages so I’m excited to catch up. Before leaving, I’ve been working on some appetizers for tonight. Including deviled eggs. And sugar cookies. Hopefully we'll get some beach time tomorrow!

Got a lot of travel coming up, so working on some thumbnail sketches today so I don't lose my place.

The next couple months are going to be pretty crazy. I have everything down in my Google calendar at work, but my head was still starting to spin so I made a calendar to organize everything. The second to last weekend in July, I have a bachelorette party for one of my best friends from high school, who is getting married Labor Day weekend. We'll be in the Cape Friday to Sunday…

Found these shells at Boca Grande in Florida last September. Used some toy blocks that I had on hand to build a mobile in a similar color scheme to baby Juliette's room. The sound it makes is pretty lovely.

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. After stopping by Endicott for my dad’s retirement party, I went back to work for two days, then on Tuesday night drove to Long Island.

Another baby post!! We took some newborn photos this afternoon! And while Andy was cleaning up back at the house, Kristine and I did a photoshoot in some of the new outfits that some friends had brought over. She's so little that hair bands are way too big for her. But she'll grown into them.

My niece and goddaughter Juliette Summer Dunscombe was born on June 21, 2018 at 2:41 AM, weighing in at 6lbs, 15oz. She was born on the summer solstice, hence her middle name…

My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their baby to be born today! I’m at their home on Long Island taking care of the dogs and waiting anxiously for news…

My dad officially retires next week after 34 years at our local public library. There was a gathering of staff and borrowers to celebrate, and I took some shots of the library to document the end of an era.

This weekend was pretty fun. To start, Chris woke me up with breakfast in bed, including scrambled eggs, hash browns, veggie sausage, and toast. It was hot out, but after a leisurely morning we decided to walk to Coolidge corner to visit the comic book store and Booksmith…

My roommate’s girlfriend is a professional baker and she made him this funfetti cake for his birthday…

My plants are doing well, and now that it’s consistently warm, a lot of my indoor plants are living outside. Including my small army of baby aloe…

Took the Brookline Town Hall exhibit down this afternoon. Thanks for hosting, Town of Brookline!

Earlier this week I helped inflate some balloons for a proposal on the MIT campus, the proposee (?) is a former coworker who worked in HR before I started working in Talent Acquisition. The proposal went well and she said yes!

It's going to be a very busy summer. I'll be back home visiting family for various reasons (mom's birthday, Father's Day, my dad's retirement), my brother and sister-in-law are having their first baby next month so I'm hoping to go down and help them out around the time the baby is due, and we have four weddings between the end of June and Labor Day, plus some functions related to those…
