heel, toe, kick!

Evie's hula skills are pretty good but we thought we'd hone them a bit by taking her to dance class. We did a trial class at the Issaquah Dance Theater this past Saturday. It's a class for 3-5 year olds and focuses on "creative movement" through ballet and tap. Since it was just a trial class, we didn't have all the right gear for her to wear (like tap shoes!) but she still seemed to enjoy herself quite a bit. Parents aren't allowed into the classroom so the best we could do was take some videos of the little chipmunk through the glass door. Evie was the littlest one in the glass and did great! It's pretty amusing to watch these little girls - Evie can do the hand movement OR the foot movement, but not together at the same time. See for yourself!

Can you spot our little ballerina?

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.  

1 week checkup

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.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
