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!

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!
