Singing

We have a couple of books that are essentially illustrated song lyrics. My friend Rachel just gave us "Blowin' in the Wind" - you can't but help to sing the song as you're reading the book. We also have "Over the Rainbow" - it's a tougher tune to sing (well), but it's also catchy so the kids have started singing it on their own. Here is my new favorite video of all-time. They are just singing away while looking at random books, as our favorite bedtime c.d. plays in the background.



They also sing "Tomorrow" once in awhile - here is just a glimpse of Zoe playing around and giving it a go.



First and foremost, Derek is an amazing musician. My sister is a classically trained flutist, I played the clarinet all through high school, my mom loves to sing, my great-grandmother played the piano, and Derek's brother and parents are all great singers as well. I hope S&Z lucked out and inherited some musical genes!!!

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!

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.
