January Playdates

We have been laying low this month following a busy holiday season. Things are also nuts at work right now, so I've been enjoying quiet weekends to chill out with Derek and the kids. Put this all together and it's made for a quiet blog this month (outside of the daily photos which I've been having a lot of fun with!).

I always make a point to keep up with our friends, though, so we've enjoyed a few fun playdates this month. On Martin Luther King Day we went over to visit Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy. They recently designed a new playroom in the basement of their house so we were excited to check that out.


It's awesome!!!


As usual, the kids ended up tearing up and down the hallway, and Wendy was able to get some great pictures with her new SLR camera.


Last Saturday we went over to visit Teresa, Tim, Josie & Theo. There was lots of fun playtime,



And then Tim made us the perfect lunch fit for a cold snowy day.


Today Vanessa and her sister brought Oliver and Thatcher over to play. It's crazy that this is what it used to look like when we got together,

Because look at them now!


Silas & Oliver are pals,


And Zoe LOVES Thatcher (she still calls him 'baby')


I hope everyone is staying warm and rejuvenating after the holidays!

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!

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.

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...
