Date night

By
One of my birthday presents from Scott was tickets to see Les Mis when the tour came back into town. He got tickets for the day after Evie's birthday and we figured we could have a date night and the kids would love a night with the babysitter eating mac n cheese and watching TV. Sadly, our sitter bailed at the last minute so guess who was my date tonight? She was the best! 

We looked into the orchestra pit during intermission.
Actually, our date night started off not too well. Evie is really easily scared and hates any kind of remotely scary or uncomfortable movie and so I shouldn't have been surprised that within 2 minutes of the show starting, she turned to me and said "I don't like it. I want to go home!". I promised her it would get better and then her sit in my lap while I gave her some jelly bellies for being a good sport. I planned on bailing at intermission if she didn't like it but she ended up liking it! YEAH!

    So fun! Did she like the songs? Did she understand what was going on? The concept of a revolution and people being shot dead must've been pretty heady for her...

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

1 week checkup

By
We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Getting to Sunrise after sunrise

By
 It wouldn’t be a Seattle summer if we didn’t make the trek out to lovely Mt Rainier! We left pretty early and drove 2 hours to check out the north side of the volcano, Sunrise visitors center. Armed with plenty of candy, treats and PBJ, we took the trail up to Mt Fremont peak where you can check out an old fire lookout shelter perched on top. I can only imagine how intense that place would have been in a summer storm. We were equally concerned about not seeing a restroom for the caretaker either! I forgot to mention, on our hike up to the peak we noticed a big black bear scampering by a couple hundred yards above us towards the top of the mountain ridge. Pretty exciting! As you can imagine Nora had lots of questions about black bears and wanted to triple check that they aren’t as aggressive as grizzly bears. After that she made me practice how quickly I could whip out our bear spray can. The girls batted away aggressive squirrels during our mountain top picnic (hours after recount...
