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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

York's Wild Kingdom

Friday was our last day of vacation and check-out time at Village by the Sea was 10am. We wanted to do one last fun thing before coming back to Boston, so we headed to York's Wild Kingdom in York, Maine. The zoo had just opened when we got there, and apparently lots of other families had the same idea as us! This zoo is definitely aimed for little kids, and Silas and Zoe (and Derek!) had a blast! Our first stop was the butterfly sanctuary, and this was definitely my favorite part of the day... We had the kids both in and out of the stroller throughout our visit. The zoo was packed with people, so it was a little nuts having them roam free and try to manage an empty double stroller too. But they were happier to get in and out of the stroller at their leisure with all the walking. There were several highlights for the kids - all of which involved feeding the animals from your hand. One was the duck pond, The deer were pretty awesome, As was the petting zoo
