The Patriots win! Did everyone stay up for the whole game? Wow – it was a nail biter until the end! Let’s just say the Big Ryan household was going nuts – well, the ones who were still awake, which was everyone over the age of 8. Things were a little crazy there but we pulled it out in the end. As for my week coming up – a lighter week – will be a welcome break from the bustle of the last few weeks. People always ask if I love my job – of course I do – but the travel can get to you sometimes! So it’s nice to hang closer to home this week.

I will begin a brand new round of Raising a Reader at the Pembroke Library this Thursday! It should be a blast – to sign in and register please call the library itself at 781-293-6771 or South Shore Family Network at 508-747-7575
