Bouncy House (and Other Backyard Fun)!

In 1995, while attending Berklee College of Music, Derek lived in an apartment on the corner of the Riverway and Huntington Avenue in Boston. He lived with two of his childhood friends, Ricky & Keith, and met a bunch of cool people who lived in the same apartment building. Becky was one of those people, and this summer she decided to organize a "Riverway Reunion" in order to get as many of the folks from that time of their lives together with their families for a BBQ. Becky & Jay, along with their two little girls hosted everyone at their house this past Saturday.

One guy brought a bouncy house, which all the kids loved!

There was an Elmo sprinkler,

And a pool!

Becky caught me in a posture that my children and family know all too well :)

This was one of our last official vacation days - so sad to see it come to an end! It was a wonderful day to spend with friends!

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!

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...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. 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.
