5 Month Pictures

Silas and Zoe turned 5 months today, so it was picture day! We decided we will probably get some professional pictures done next month, so you won't have to deal with our amateur photo shoot next time :)

The babies were particularly angelic when we were getting ready this morning,



Daddy provided some good entertainment while Mommy finalized the outfits.

As usual with two babies, everything is quite a production!


Zoe's outfit was less complicated than Silas' (damn overalls), so we had some downtime to hang out.


S&Z needed lots of re-positioning now that they are moving so much!

First they slid far down on their butts,


Zoe fairly quickly said "I'm outta here",


But Silas convinced her to come back for a few more pictures - they are good pals, you know ;)


Zoe wasn't completely convinced it was a good idea.


She was more interested in playing with her dress (well, it IS a pretty dress!),


And Daddy is infinitely more interesting to look at than the camera.

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...

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!
