Birthdays on the Brain

Three of Silas & Zoe's best friends turned one this month!

Sydney & Ivy were first on September 15th. They had a very fun birthday party in their backyard! Upon arrival, first thing was first - get the kids fed.

Everyone had plenty of time to play before cake. The ball pit was definitely Silas & Zoe's favorite!







































Then it was cake time!


Unfortunately we missed the gift opening because S&Z were all played out, but it looked like the girls got some really fun stuff!


Oliver's birthday was on September 19th. He also had a very fun backyard birthday bash!


There were so many fun cars, trikes, and sports stuff to explore!
























Those kids were busy!!!






















And then it was cake time for Oliver!


Happy birthday to Sydney, Ivy, and Oliver - we were so happy to be able to celebrate with everyone. Congratulations to Wendy & Dave and Vanessa & Greg too! The hard part is over, right? ;)

Silas and Zoe turn 1 on October 5th and they have so many people who love them that we are splitting the fun into TWO birthday celebrations. We will have Derek's family and family friends over on October 16th, and there will be a costume party for our friends and all the kids on October 30th! A friend gave me the idea of putting together an Amazon Wish List for them, but I was reminded tonight that nothing is more fun than a case of toilet paper encased in plastic :0

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!
