Today

Today Silas drew "angry" faces on the magna doodle we keep in the car.


Today we had a very fun playdate with Josie & Theo. The kids took a lunch break to work on solving the world's problems. Derek mediated the two sides.


Today Silas peed on the floor and pooped in his pull-up. He's been showing some "resistance" to using the potty this weekend :(

Today we watched an old friend smash the RNC on CNN. Bill has been doing a weekly pop culture commentary with Randi Kaye all summer long (check him out on FB). We are so proud of him!


Today Silas decided he wants to be a queen for Halloween. Zoe still wants to be a "cooker" (which is a good thing because Wendy found us a chef costume yesterday!).

Today I am so happy to know that another old and dear friend, Robert, is spending some much-needed time with his family after being released from a 14 year prison term on Friday. He made some major mistakes and has paid dearly for them. Today I am sending him lots of love...

Today we walked 2.6 miles and the kids spent a good chunk of time giving each other drinks of water.


Today we saw beautiful flowers on our walk.


Today the kids did some post-walk yoga stretches with me.


They are SO CUTE!!!


Today I'm trying to move the kids' bedtime back to 7:30 in preparation for preschool starting on Tuesday. I am sooooo excited for them!

Today I made homemade marinara sauce for the first time in over three years. I used it as the sauce in Eliza's Baked Pasta (ground chicken, red peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli), which has just come out of the oven... I used Chobani plain non-fat greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute. Yummy!!!

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...
