Awesome Weekend, Part I

We were so happy that Keith & Rachel were in town this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday was Derek's first day of vacation, so we were able to hang out like normal people and have them over for dinner.

S&Z were excited to show off the snails and sandbox and everything else they love about the backyard.


Derek made (the best) painkillers using fresh fruit in the Vitamix, and we enjoyed cocktails and appetizers outside.


I can't remember the last time we had friends over for dinner - we always do brunch due to Derek's sleeping schedule. It was a great 1st day of vacation!!!

Rachel and Keith brought the kids helium balloons. Silas was scared to death of his balloon and Zoe kept tormenting him by bouncing it in his face. By the next morning he was over it, though, and he happily played with the balloon all morning.


We walked down to the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning to buy produce for the week.

Their height difference is becoming so pronounced!

We met up with Vanessa and the fam and ate a picnic while enjoying some live music.


There was not a dull moment the entire weekend, will post separately about Saturday's BBQ and Father's Day!

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!
