boats, ahoy!

By
We went to the Floating Boat show on Sunday and the girls were beyond excited checking out the fancy schmancy yachts. Truth be told, I thought it was pretty neat too. It was like going to an open house but better because you can just walk a few feet to the next one. We got to check out some multi-million dollar yachts that were as nice as multi-million dollar homes. Seriously - these boats had full size kitchens with viking stoves and sub-zero fridges, 4 bedrooms, bathtubs, etc. Super fancy. If only I had a few cool million just hanging around, needing to be used up!

Captains chairs

This one was around $2M, and was not the fanciest one we saw.
I'm the queen of the world!

Here's more photos of Mary's Promise. $2.3m, and it's a USED boat that's about 15 years old!
Showing off the boats they made

Afterwards, we went to dinner to celebrate Grandpa's birthday and capped the night with ice cream and video games at Full Tilt! This place is a Seattle institution and I was pretty excited to finally cross it off my list. They have some interesting flavors (I got mango chili), pinball machines and arcade games, and a bar that serves beer and alcohol so that you can make fancy ice cream floats.

Evie vs Nora on pacman. Who do you think won?

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.

Apple tasting

By
Over the weekend we popped into the free Apple Tasting and Cider Making at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and it was amazing! There had to have been 30+ varieties and all of them can be found locally on the island. We had a lot of fun sampling away, tasting new varieties that I've never even heard of like Albermarle Pippin or Kennebec or early Fuji or Ashmael Kernel. I hope they do this again next year. Who wants to go with us?
