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!

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!
