365: Day 77- Uncle Larry


3/18/13: We found out on Monday morning that Uncle Larry had been admitted to the hospital over the weekend. 

I am incredibly thankful for Vanessa's generous heart in offering to take S&Z for a few hours onto her already-full plate. Julia was sick yesterday and I wouldn't have been able to visit Larry in the hospital without having someone to watch the kids.

They had a total blast with Thatcher and Oliver, baths and all!


Larry lost his painful fight with cancer shortly after we left the hospital last night. I am so thankful that we were able to say goodbye, along with Larry's dad, Derek's parents, and countless friends.

The world will not be the same without his loving and generous heart...

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Please pass our condolences to Derek's family.

    On a lighter note, I love the photos of the 4 kids in the bath.

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!

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...
