Grandparents

Silas and Zoe are so lucky to have three sets of grandparents! They have already spent lots of quality time with Grandma and Grandpa Dutra who live nearby, as well as Grandma Speare who is visiting us from ND and helping out this month. Unfortunately Grandpa Speare was unable to visit with my mom because his father passed away last week. Grandpa Westerlund (my dad) calls me frequently to get all the updates, and we are planning a "skype date" with both Grandma and Grandpa Westerlund this weekend so they can meet the babies via webcam!

Grandma and Grandpa Dutra got to meet Silas in the hospital soon after he was born. Unfortunately they had to wait to meet Miss Z until she came home from the NICU :(




Since they live so close to us, they have been able to come over and visit once a week since the babies were born!


Grandma Speare arrived last week and has been a huge help to me & Derek, giving each of us a bit of a break (and some much needed time to sleep!). It's been fun watching her get to know the babies and their unique personalities.






Gotta love Grandma's!!

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...

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!!!
