Tubby Time!

As is expected, both Zoe and Silas HATE having their clothes and diapers changed. They scream and cry and let us know what they think about the whole process. So when it came time for their first bath, both of them started off in protest. However, as soon as their bums hit the warm water they settled right into a state of calm.

Here is Silas' first full bath at home



He took a long nap when it was done!


And here is Zoe's first bath at her bedside in the NICU. You can see that she starts off mad,


And then realizes how nice it is!


She gets mad at us again once she comes back out in the cold, however!


Zoe has been out of an incubator and in a bassinet for over a week now. When a "big girl" crib opened up recently, one of the nurses snagged it for her. She made it very clear to Zoe that this crib is a short-term rental, intended only to make the rest of her (hopefully short) stay on the NICU more comfortable.


Kerri is Zoe's head nurse and we finally got a picture of them together today! Kerri has taken excellent care of all of us during this stressful time and we will never be able to thank her enough.

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...
