Last Travels for Awhile

I am getting ready to go "home" for the next nine days so I am very excited! I feel fortunate that I have three "homes" (Grand Forks, Minneapolis & Boston), and this trip will bring me to two of them. I fly to Minneapolis tonight where I will hang out with Stephanie & Jim and Dad & Mary for the weekend. Dad's birthday and Father's Day are both coming up so we will BBQ at Stephanie's house tomorrow to celebrate. I will take the Amtrak to Grand Forks overnight on Sunday, arriving at 5am (many thanks to Dave in advance for picking me up at the crack of dawn!). Mom, Dave & I will spend Monday through Friday relaxing and catching up, and we will also celebrate Father's Day, hopefully with another BBQ! On Friday we will drive back to Minneapolis for a baby shower that Sue is hosting for me on Saturday (there will definitely be a post about this next weekend). I fly home on Sunday, arriving in time to also celebrate Father's Day with Derek's family. This week I will definitely get the best of both worlds.

This is my last air travel for quite awhile, and I feel excited, sad and relieved all at the same time. I am excited for this trip; I am relieved to not travel for work for awhile; but I am sad that I won't be home until next year (although the babies will be here by then and that is very exciting!!). A friend (wise woman & mother of a 16-month-old) told me to enjoy this visit with my mom because we can talk about the babies without having to run after them!

Here I am at 19 weeks. By the time I get back to Boston I will be more than halfway done with this pregnancy! Woo-hoo!

Bon Voyage!

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!

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...

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.
