Heatwave!

It was super hot over the weekend - reaching into the 90's! That's pretty rare for Seattle. To beat the heat, I took Evie on Sunday to the spray park in South Lake Union. It's pretty new and was the perfect size for her. We had gone to a different spray park a few weeks ago but there were tons of big kids and lots of shooting water jets so she was shy and didn't have much fun. This time though, she was singing and running all over the place!

Just the right size for Evie!


Afterwards, we met up with my old friend Sayo, Jae and their daughter Sophie for a little ride on the boat. Sophie is almost 1 years old and is adorable - she's a little mini Jae! She was such a content little baby, barely uttering a peep. The only time she was unhappy was when we forced her to wear the infant life vest. Evie didn't like it when she was little either. We hope they liked Seattle and can't wait for them to visit us again, maybe next time when it's snowing so we can do some snow sports!

Evie is a great first mate!

Happy new year!!

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.  

Skateboarding

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
