'Tis the Season...

...of BBQ's!!!!!!!!!

The first BBQ of the long holiday weekend was today at The Brennan's house. Everything was starting early enough in the day and Derek doesn't work tonight, so we decided to risk messing with the kids' long nap in order for the 4 of us to attend as a family. Outside of Derek's upcoming 3 week vacation, these opportunities for all of us to socialize don't present themselves very often so we were pretty excited to see everyone!

Ricky & Heidi have an amazing backyard and 2 kids of their own (Holly will be 4 in October and Kylee is 10 months), so there was lots of fun stuff for S&Z to play with!




There was tons of water table fun!!!







Holly also has 2 little houses like ones we have played with at a few friend's houses this summer.




We found frogs,


And had lots of fun playing with Holly!





Silas and Zoe typically nap for 2+ hours, so they were running on fumes by 4:30pm with only a 30 minute snooze on the drive down. Because Derek had been awake since 9pm last night, he was also exhausted. We fed them a quick dinner before they went in the bathtub and Derek went to bed. Here are the faces of tired toddlers at the end of a very fun day,


They were asleep before 7pm... 


It was wonderful seeing everyone today! Me and the kids will be ready to do it all again with Eliza & her family the afternoon of the 4th!

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!
