Exploring the Arboretum

My mom left yesterday morning, so now I'll be working on getting some pictures posted from all the fun things we did while she was here. "Marathon Monday" (formally known as Patriot's Day) is a big Boston holiday. It's pretty much impossible to get around the city via car or public transportation due to the marathon, so it's a holiday for many organizations. It was a hot April day and I had the day off so we headed to the Arboretum.

The kids were decked out in sun hats and sunglasses,


And they were excited to go exploring! 


Even though the kids walk 98% of the time on these types of outings, we still bring the wagon. We fill it with all of our stuff and they have fun pushing it. Being typical 2-year-olds, there is often a tantrum (or two!) thrown when it's time to end whatever very fun thing we're doing, so we also use the wagon as a twin extraction vehicle.


My mom hasn't been to the Arboretum since we got married there a few years ago, so she had a great time seeing it again.


Zoe and Silas had an awesome time checking out the flowers, rocks, sticks, and grass.


Mostly, we just enjoyed our beautiful surroundings.

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!
