Friends

We finally broke down and borrowed a single stroller to make it easier to bring Silas back and forth to the hospital everyday (thanks, Andee and Maya!). This gave me a newfound sense of freedom today, because I could finally do a "mom" thing outside of the house -- I was able to push Silas in the stroller from the car to the NICU. It's definitely the little things that can make someone feel better during stressful times. Here he is on our way to the unit today, sleepy and adorable as usual :)


Since getting around is now a lot easier, we decided to stop by the lab today to introduce Silas to lots of new friends! It was so great to see everyone!


After such a big day out and about, Silas conked out in his bouncy chair after sucking down a bottle.


We have had lots of visitors both to the hospital and to the house, and I will have to write an entire post with pictures of Silas and his new friends when I have more time. We are super excited for everyone to have an excuse to come back over once Zoe is home as well!

Thank you to all of our friends and family who have been calling and e-mailing to check on us. I apologize that we haven't been able to get back in touch with everyone directly, but please know that we truly appreciate how much everyone cares about us and the babies. We look forward to catching up with everyone soon!

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!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
