365: Day 137

5/18/13: After not seeing everyone for way too long, on Saturday we had our second gathering in the span of a month! Ricky & Heidi hosted a southern-style BBQ and we had a very fun day hanging outside!

The highlight for S&Z was learning how to drive Holly's Barbie Jeep. She showed them how it worked,


And then they were off on their own! Seriously, they drove it for hours. Zoe was a better driver than Silas, and every time we turned around she would be back in the driver's seat after giving him a turn for just a few minutes.


They also played a lot on the swingset.


Every so often they would take a break and come up on the deck to say hi and get a bite to eat. I got to snuggle with Brad and Christina's baby, Emmy, and they were pretty curious about her.


Until Emmy started pulling Zoe's hair.


And then Zoe wanted nothing to do with her.


Until Auntie Megan helped her hold Emmy on her lap.


Since we don't have a ton of family around I love it that S&Z are getting to know everyone better! 


Hopefully our get-togethers will keep picking up steam this summer!

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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

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!
