All Dressed Up...

Chuck hosted our annual lab holiday party this week. It was so great to see all of my co-workers, and of course it was very fun to show off the babies! It's strange doing all of these "usual" things now that I'm a mom. Oh how things have changed!

Before we left the house, of course we had a little photo shoot of S&Z wearing their party clothes.



They were both in a great mood and ready to party!



We arrived at Chuck & Gwen's a little early so that we could catch up a bit before everyone arrived.




Everyone was so nice to hold them so that Derek and I could eat and visit.

Eliza enjoyed some Silas snuggle time.


Stacey got to meet Zoe for the first time.


Margaret hung out with Zoe so she could observe her first Yankee Swap!


Silas was all partied out.


But Zoe was ready for more!


The prospect of going back to work on February 1st feels a little stressful, but seeing everyone made me very thankful that I have such a fun group of people to go back to!

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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

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!
