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!

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...
