366: Day 206


7/24/12, 5pm: Derek was at the hospital waiting for Joanne to get discharged. I got home from work an hour early to lay down before she got here. Literally 1 minute after I laid down I heard a wicked pain cry - Silas had tripped and hit his head, and next thing we knew a huge egg had appeared on his forehead. Julia comforted Zoe and I had Silas, and after a very scary back and forth with Derek and the clinic, we decided he didn't need to be seen in the ER. Derek came directly home from the hospital and wrapped his head up in the best ice pack ever (just one of the benefits of having an EMT for a daddy!).

Denny flew solo and brought Joanne here following discharge. Derek dropped off prescriptions at 8pm and headed directly to bed, I made dinner while Denny picked up meds, and Denny, Joanne and I ate runza casserole for dinner. 

Following an early evening thunderstorm we were graced with a rainbow, a quintessential sign of hope. Tomorrow is a new day.

    Oh wow! I'm just catching up on the last week. You have had quite a rough time. Poor Silas! I hope all is well with everyone and Joanne.

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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

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!
