Our little swimmer

I mentioned earlier that Evie has been taking swim lessons. Last week was the first time I went with her; Scott is usually the one who takes her to the lesson. Last week, she SCREAMED while in the pool. Poor girl was hyperventilating in the pool, yelling "I want Mommy, I want Mommy!" Scott insists this never happens so I think my being there may have been a bad idea.

Scott and I both took her this time and gave her a pep talk the entire way over to the lesson. Once she got there, she only whimpered a bit once, and then was all smiles and was very brave. This time they let her try to swim on her own, tried to teach her to blow bubbles and to float on her back. I couldn't stop laughing at the funny faces she was making in the water, but our little munchkin did great going back and forth without complaint! Here's a few videos:

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.

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
