Twin Mommy Dinners

I think I have set a recent record by going out to for dinner 3 weeks in a row! As I have probably mentioned before, I realized back in September that even with our crazy schedules I can put the kids to bed, stick the baby monitor in our bedroom where Derek is sleeping, and go out to meet friends for dinner. I can be out the door by 8:00, and if it's a night that Derek works I just need to be home by 10:45 in order for him to head out.

I've taken full advantage of the nice weather and having friends whose kids are also a little older. It's tough to sneak out for dinner when you're still getting up for middle of the night feedings, but now that our kids sleep through the night I have a few takers for these fun Friday night dinners. Three weeks ago I met up with Teresa, mom to Josie & Theo. We had burgers and martinis at the Met Bar & Grill. Last Friday I met Wendy, mom to Sydney & Ivy, at the Cheesecake Factory. Last night I had dinner at an AWESOME hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called El Potro in Union Square. Sam & Carrie are part of the DMC twin moms I work with. Carrie's babies are only 3 months old so Sam & I were glad to give her some advice and support over margaritas & mexican food last night.

It's so great that I've been able to resume this social part of my life after a long hiatus. Now if Derek & I can just get on track with some non-kid husband/wife time...

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...

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.
