Firsts

Silas produced his first complete sentence this week (he's also pushing out his first 2 year old molar, as you can see by the drool on his shirt). He was talking on one of the play phones as he loves to do, said goodbye and hung up. Derek asked who he was talking to and he replied "I just push buttons"!


Derek's Aunt Doreen gave the kids an AquaDoodle for Christmas. They love it, and Zoe in particular likes me to write letters with her on the mat. We do it every day when I get home from work. A few days ago she wrote her first letter alone, a 'V'! She has reproduced 'V' multiple times since then.



Both kids love to jump, and Zoe has been able to get both feet off the ground for awhile now. Silas launched for the first time this week! Go Silas!!!!


Last night we got our first real snow since October. The kids wore boots outside for the first time ever today. They loved the snow!!!


Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!

I look awful, but Zoe is just too cute not to post this picture :-)

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.
