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 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!

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...

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.
