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.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

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.
