Botanical Gardens Walk

Can you believe it? It was 60 degrees and sunny today! It's been a mild winter so far, but today really felt like a beautiful SoCal kind of winter day. We took advantage by going on a "hike" with the girls through the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. It's a pretty small garden, perfect for kids. Here's some of the highlights:

Checking out what's in the laterns in the Yao Chinese Garden.

Resting on one of the gazillion benches along the walking path.

Suspension bridge! Truth be told, this was the whole reason for our trip there today.

What's up there in the sky? Just some more ferns and moss growing on the trees.

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.

Glass art

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!
