The Cow Says...

As the parent of a young toddler, you will find yourself making a lot of animal sounds. Some of the sounds your kids might catch onto right away ('woof-woof' in our house), whereas with others you can tell they get it but they just won't produce the sound themselves ('quack'). Awhile back I caught Silas saying 'moo' to the Leapfrog refrigerator barn. After months and months of me saying moo, he ultimately produced the cow sound to an electronic toy as if that's where he learned it!

Wendy recently gave us a Fisher Price Little People Jungle. It has been a BIG HIT around here and is probably one of the current favorites. Within a day of getting the jungle, both kids started spontaneously roaring. Here's an undercover video I shot when I heard them. They are the cutest little lions I've ever heard!!!

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!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
