Happy Halloween!

By
Happy Halloween everyone! It was a fun filled day. For Evie, she had a Halloween costume party and parade at school followed by a pajama party. We opted to skip her swim lesson after school to instead go to our neighbor's house for a pizza party and then trick or treating with some of their kids. Evie was the youngest of the bunch and it took her some time to warm up to everyone. The group that we went with were mostly older (the oldest was 9) so they were running from house to house and at first it was a bit intimidating. After a few houses though, Evie was game trying to keep up and had a great time getting candy. We let her pick 2 to eat when we got home and she chose a pack of Lifesaver Gummies and Skittles. 20 minutes after shoveling the candy in her mouth, she asked for an apple (or beans!). Good girl!

Does anyone eat candy corn still?

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?
