Sleepovers at Ian's house

By
After we hit up Sacramento, we drove over to the Bay Area to visit with Yee Yee, Uncle Kevin and Ian for the week. Scott had to travel to DC for the week so it was really nice being able to hang out in SF instead of braving the cold weather in Seattle, alone. We had so much fun in SF!

This was Evie's first "sleepover" because she slept in Ian's room. The first night took a few trips into the room to tell the kids to quit giggling and talking and go to sleep, but sleep they did and everything worked out great.

On Monday, we made our way to the Academy of Science Museum. We originally wanted to go to the zoo but it was too dreary and cold. I'm glad we changed plans to go to the museum because it was really neat! Next time I'd love to stay longer and check out some of the other exhibits we didn't get to see like the Earthquake zone.

Albino alligator and giant turtle. 
Inside the Rainforest area, there were butterflies galore! This photo doesn't really show enough of the butterflies. 

Evie loved the butterflies.

We also spent a lot of time just hanging out in San Rafael, checking out new restaurants and playing at the nearby parks or with all of Ian's toys. Really, these kids would find a shoebox fun because they were playing with each other. We also did a movie night but sadly, I didn't take any photos of that.

At lunch, trying out a new restaurant (forgot the name!). Evie's smile looks forced, but at least everyone is looking at the camera!

So many colorful toys to look at!

What's so funny? 
We really did have a wonderful time. Thanks, Hanley's, for putting up with us for a whole week!


Bye bye Ian! We'll miss you!

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.

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!
