Happy 4th of July

For the second year in a row we were invited to join my friend and former co-worker, Eliza, for her family's annual 4th of July BBQ. Eliza has a nephew, Sam, who was born 1 week after S&Z so it's fun to get the 3 kids together to play! Sam's parents brought a water table, so of course the kids were all over that :)




Eliza's Aunt Carol hosted the BBQ this year. Carol has a set of boy-girl twins who are now in their 20s, so she has a particularly good sense of humor about where I'm at right now. Carol also has 3 pugs and a couple of birds. S&Z LOVED the birds (but weren't so sure about the pugs),



Oh my goodness, Auntie Eliza, these birds are AWESOME!!

Zo-Zo, come check them out!

The Congdon-Richardson clan is so welcoming and I can't think of a better way to celebrate the 4th! Many thanks to them for their hospitality (and tolerance) once again this year!!!!!

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!
