Home Sweet Home

I was wrong when I said in my last post that life doesn't get better than that. It does. And it definitely got better today!

Zoe is home. Home. Sweet. Home.

Her discharge from the hospital was unremarkable, aside from the fact that her team ordered a few final tests in the Nth hour, which prolonged her discharge until almost 3pm. Considering I had been up since 3am, I was more than a "little" ready! Apparently Zoe was ready as well, because her eyes were as big as saucers and she was so curious about the whole process!




Vanessa came over with Oliver and watched Silas for us while we picked up Zoe, so she snapped a few pics of us settling in.



Serena seemed unphased by the addition of baby #2.


Derek and Zoe got some father-daughter time.


And before I knew it, he was holding down the entire fort!


We decided it was bath night so that was quite the whirlwind of activity giving baths x2! Whew. It will be awhile before either of us can do that alone! After baths and feeding, Silas and Zoe promptly fell asleep, again looking as cute as can be.



We surely have a few exciting days ahead of us!

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!

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...

Curried Chickpeas and Cauliflower

I made this for dinner tonight after returning later than expected from a fun afternoon at the park.
