Holiday Concert

S&Z's preschool held a combined holiday concert for the 3-year-old morning and afternoon classes. I have been so excited about the concert, and was very thankful when both kids proved to be healthy enough to be able to attend. We invited Derek's parents to come up to Boston for the concert on Thursday morning.


In total there were about 40 3-year-olds performing! I think it took longer to line them up than it did to perform the six song program :)


S&Z were positioned in the middle of all the kids, and they looked like deer in headlights for most of the songs. The head preschool teacher isn't particularly musically inclined, so the background music came from an iPod which was positioned at the opposite end of the room from where S&Z stood. Some kids sang along and some kids cried. S&Z didn't sing any of the songs, but they looked around curiously throughout the program.



The kids were given LED votive candles for "This Little Light of Mine".


There was a little reception after the concert, and S&Z mostly just played with the candles which they got to take home.


My parents arrived today and I am sooooo looking forward to having 10 glorious days off from work!

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!

Summer Nights

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.

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...
