Aunties are the Best!

Auntie Stephanie came to Boston to visit us last week! It was the first time she met the babies in person. We had a GREAT time!


Auntie S was a huge help with feeding, CUDDLING, taking S&Z out to run errands, etc.



Silas liked playing smush face with Auntie S!


Zoe loved being told how fabulous and beautiful she is :)


On Monday night, Auntie Rachel joined us for dinner.


The aunties fed and put the babies to bed and it was a wonderful break for me! Stephanie took charge of dinner and we all had a fabulous evening hanging out.


Silas and Zoe are so lucky to have so many wonderful aunties in their lives! Auntie Timery came to visit yesterday. We are so happy to be passing along clothes and other baby gear to their baby boy who is due May 12th!


Aunties Timery & Tracy also visited us in December. Auntie Tracy is expecting a baby girl on June 1st! Silas and Zoe are so excited to have new cousins to play with! We will be giving Tracy & Brock some baby practice when we go to visit them in Baltimore in March :)


Auntie Lisa has also visited us in Boston a few times, and we will also see her in Baltimore next month!


Auntie Kristin was here visiting in October, and we can't wait to see her in Baltimore as well!


We see Auntie Vanessa for playdates with Ollie at least every other week! I have many more pictures of S&Z with Ollie than do with Vanessa, but here are two I found with Vanessa...



We also see Auntie Andee and her daughter Maya for coffee every other week. Here is Andee with Silas and the kitties back in October.


The latest exciting news is that Auntie Dana will be coming to stay with us for 1-1/2 weeks at the end of April! Dana is one of my best friends from MN, and she has been living in Europe since 2004. It will be so great to have her here with us hanging out for so long! S&Z can't wait!!!

I am thankful to have so many wonderful female friends in my life. Silas and Zoe are now lucky to have so many wonderful "aunties" in theirs...

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!!!
