Love Notes

I have been back at work for 5-1/2 weeks now, and the reality of our childcare situation has definitely set in. Derek gets home from work in the morning, usually just in time for me to run out the door to catch the bus. When I get home from work he's asleep and Julia has been here as our "baby stopgap" for 3 hours. When Derek wakes up a little after 9pm to eat and get ready for work, I head into the bedroom to go to bed. I'm off Friday-Sunday, but Derek is so tired by that point that he needs to take advantage of having me around to catch up on some much-needed sleep! Thankfully I have a lot of flexibility at work so we are at least able to chat for 10 minutes here and there to catch up on stuff about S&Z and schedules. But mostly I feel like all we do is pass the baby baton between us.

So you can imagine how tickled I was when I recently undressed Silas to put on his pajamas before bed and found a "love note" that Derek had left me via a onesie.

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!

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...
