Today

Today I woke up early to drive my mom to the airport. It was bittersweet to say goodbye after a 2-week long visit.

Today was Derek's scheduled day off but he picked up an overtime shift from 10am-6pm. Since I was going to have S&Z alone all day, I knew we needed to get out of the house. The rain stopped in time for us to meet up with Tracy and the kids to go to the Farmer's Market. Of course we had to stop along the way to say hi to the chickens.


The kids spent over an hour running around, playing with leaves and sticks.


Today S&Z took their usual 2-1/2 hour long afternoon nap. It will be a sad, sad day when that glorious downtime goes away.

Today it was 70 degrees so we pulled out the bubble machine after nap.


It's almost the end of October. Go big or go home. 


Toto and the Velveteen Rabbit watched all the fun.


Tonight Derek decided to make Pumpkin Oatmeal Scotchies with S&Z when he got home from work.


A yummy way to end a busy day!

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!

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!

The Blog Book is Here!!!

My friend, Tom, told me about a website where you can order a bound copy of your blog. I've had it on my radar for awhile, but I finally just got around to making a book of the first year of entries. It starts with 'Icing on the Cake' , the last entry before they were born, and it ends with Halloween . It turned out better than I could have imagined! I cried when I opened it... One hundred ninety-four pages of love, photos, stories, and milestones!
