Auntie Timery

One of my best friends, Timery, recently moved back to MA along with her husband, Steve, and their 3-1/2 month old baby, Jason Beckett (JB). I haven't seen Timery since January when she was pregnant and Silas & Zoe were only 3 months old. We have been very excited to meet JB, so we headed up to Ipswich today!

Ipswich is a beautiful community on the north shore of MA, about an hour's drive from Boston. There are lots of antique stores and other cute shops, as well as several world famous clam shacks. It just so happens that the Clam Box is around the corner for Timery & Steve's new place, so we will definitely be eating lunch there next time we visit!

I had been telling Silas & Zoe that they would be meeting their cousin, Jason, today. Zoe couldn't wait to check him out!


Silas, on the other hand, was very interested in all of JB's toys.


One of S&Z's favorite things right now is exploring other people's houses. After we all had some lunch, they had a blast playing peek-a-boo under the table with Timery while Jason took a nap.






After peek-a-boo, they proceeded to wreck havoc.



Ultimately, half of Timery & Steve's belongings ended up on the dining room table.


Jason is a very sweet, cute baby! I was so happy to get some snuggles from him.

After so much playing, everyone needed a bottle break. Silas & Zoe were so curious about JB getting a bottle.


Both of them gravitated right over to Auntie Timery.



I gave Timery a break by giving bottles to S&Z as well!


Before I knew it, we had to hit the road home. I am so thankful that Timery, Steve & Jason are living so close by. I have one of my "sisters" back, and S&Z have a cousin to spend lots of fun time with too!

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!!!
