Auntie Lisa's Visit

My friend Lisa is a professor at UMass-Amherst, which is about a 2 hour drive from Boston. We've been lucky to have her visit us so many times over the last year. Most recently, we got to spend the entire day together on Friday. Lisa is an awesome amateur photographer, and she took a bunch of pictures while she was here. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of S&Z with Lisa, because she was always the one behind the camera! The pictures are priceless, such a beautiful snapshot of a typical day for us.














Never has a meal been photographed so intensively as it was on Friday. I gave them pasta with meat sauce that they fed to themselves. That equals one big mess! Silas loves to put his hands on his head very dramatically when eating, and he got all kinds of positive reinforcement from us on this particular evening.









Monkey see, monkey do of course!




We love you, Lisa! Thanks for sharing in our chaos :)

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!

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!

The Blog Book is Here!!!

My friend, Tom, told me about a website where you can order a bound copy of your blog. I've had it on my radar for awhile, but I finally just got around to making a book of the first year of entries. It starts with 'Icing on the Cake' , the last entry before they were born, and it ends with Halloween . It turned out better than I could have imagined! I cried when I opened it... One hundred ninety-four pages of love, photos, stories, and milestones!
