The Best Co-Workers (Evah)!

Since Vanessa and I are both pregnant, the LCN (Labs of Cognitive Neuroscience) decided to throw us a joint baby shower. The LCN is very lucky to have a self-appointed "Party Planning Committee" (aka, the PPC, which consists of Eliza, Kristine & Rebecca G). The PPC takes care of the LCN social planning like organizing going away lunches when people leave the lab, or commemorating special occasions like the inauguration. They outdid themselves with the luncheon baby shower they threw for us this week!



We even got corsages!



Chuck's wife, Gwen, came from downtown to join us, and Lenny, Sandy, Rachel & Rosetta came down from the hospital! Everyone enjoyed the yummy Panera catering!

Apparently this was the first baby shower Chuck ever attended, and it will likely be his last if he can help it. He & Lenny sat across the room from one another sending text messages throughout the entire gift opening :)


Speaking of gifts, I was again taken aback by everyone's generosity. We got lots of much-needed stuff, including adorable baby clothes and toys, board books, the Beaba Babycook that will enable us to make our own baby food, a bouncy seat, and the moby wrap that supposedly lets you carry two babies at once!






I have worked with Chuck for 10 years now, and it's amazing the awesome co-workers I have been blessed with now, as well as over the years! Many, many thanks to the PPC and the LCN!!!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...
