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!

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. I love it because a) it can be ready in 30 minutes, b) it is made with pantry ingredients, and c) it is full of bold flavors, which Silas in particular loves!
