Runners-Up

Our lives resumed some normalcy this weekend now that Joanne is out of the hospital; Derek is also working on getting on a normal sleep schedule. We went to the zoo on Friday, the Farmer's Market on Saturday, and the Children's Museum on Sunday. Here are a few photos that didn't make it as photos of the day, but are definitely runners-up.

8/10/12: In the Butterfly Landing at Franklin Park Zoo
8/10/12: Momma's and their babies
8/11/12: Eating strawberries with their puppy following
a 3.5 mile morning power walk/jog with Mommy

8/11/12: Ring around the rosie. This went on for another 5 minutes after I stopped the video :)

8/12/12: Cribs empty and clothes removed at 7am
8/12/12: On our way to the Children's Museum
8/12/12: Checking out the chairs in the Big & Little
exhibit at the Children's Museum
Back to work for both of us tomorrow. Hopefully no more visits to the hospital for awhile. Next round of chemo is on 8/24...

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!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe.

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
