Easter Greetings

S&Z were super cute all day on Easter and we took a ton of pictures. Here they are in the morning!


We had gorgeous weather for a visit to Silas and Zoe's Great-Grandma & Grandpa Dutra's house in Dighton, MA on Sunday for Easter. The babies hadn't seen their Great-Uncle Larry since Thanksgiving. Larry later told me that this was the first time that he had held a baby in many, many years!


Silas' favorite person in the whole world is Derek, and since Derek wasn't with us all he wanted to do was stare at Larry. We realized that Derek and Larry look similar and definitely laugh the same -- Silas couldn't take his eyes off him, especially while drinking his bottle!


Great-Grandma Sally was sooooo happy to see the babies again!




Grandma & Grandpa Dutra had fun seeing all the new things they have been doing in the last few weeks.



We tried really hard to get a nice 3-generation photo, but Zoe was being Zoe and this was what we got. I love the way Silas is looking at her to see what's wrong!


The weather was gorgeous so we went outside for a change of scenery. S&Z were winter babies, so the warm weather of late has been awesome! I think this was the babies' first up-close experience with flowers in bloom!



We hung out on the porch for awhile too.




After a relaxing afternoon visiting with everyone, it was time to head back to Boston. We can't wait to see the midwest contingent at the end of May!

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!
