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!

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. The first part of my foo...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
