The (Serious) Faces of Silas

We spent a very fun morning at the Children's Museum this morning. In these types of situations Derek and I play one-on-one. Today it ended up that Derek had Zoe most of the morning and I had Silas. This means that I got some great photos of him very intently exploring the museum.

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 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.
