The Best Co-Workers (Evah)!

Since Vanessa and I are both pregnant, the LCN (Labs of Cognitive Neuroscience) decided to throw us a joint baby shower. The LCN is very lucky to have a self-appointed "Party Planning Committee" (aka, the PPC, which consists of Eliza, Kristine & Rebecca G). The PPC takes care of the LCN social planning like organizing going away lunches when people leave the lab, or commemorating special occasions like the inauguration. They outdid themselves with the luncheon baby shower they threw for us this week!

We even got corsages!

Chuck's wife, Gwen, came from downtown to join us, and Lenny, Sandy, Rachel & Rosetta came down from the hospital! Everyone enjoyed the yummy Panera catering!

Apparently this was the first baby shower Chuck ever attended, and it will likely be his last if he can help it. He & Lenny sat across the room from one another sending text messages throughout the entire gift opening :)

Speaking of gifts, I was again taken aback by everyone's generosity. We got lots of much-needed stuff, including adorable baby clothes and toys, board books, the Beaba Babycook that will enable us to make our own baby food, a bouncy seat, and the moby wrap that supposedly lets you carry two babies at once!

I have worked with Chuck for 10 years now, and it's amazing the awesome co-workers I have been blessed with now, as well as over the years! Many, many thanks to the PPC and the LCN!!!

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!

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!!!

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!
