Auntie's Visit

My sister was in Boston this week for work so we were very happy to spend some time with her!


She came over for dinner on Wednesday and Thursday nights after work, and then checked out of her hotel to hang out with us from Friday until Saturday morning. The weather was a gorgeous 75 degrees so we decided to check out one of the local sprinkler parks (Hynes Playground in West Roxbury). We didn't have such a thing in MN (that I was aware of, anyway), but basically it is a playground that has a spot where water shoots out of the ground and the kids can run around and cool off.

We brought the wagon and a blanket and had a snack while we all got our bearings.





Then it was time to check out the water!



There were a ton of kids at the park and S&Z weren't really sure what to think. Thankfully Auntie was there to help out!!!




After a little while everyone felt more adventurous,


There was a fun tot-sized play structure to climb on too!



We brought watermelon and pb&j sandwiches for a dinner outside.



It was a really fun afternoon and a great visit with my sister! We miss you already, Auntie!!!!!!!!!

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!
