4th birthday shots

The unlucky part of turning 4 means have to get shots! Poor Evie didn't know it was coming when we went for her checkup on Friday. We have a Berenstein Bears book about going to the doctor's office though so she knew that these were good-for-you shots but she was still a bit nervous. The male nurse, Alex, was a champion shot giver though. He took out a basket of lollipops and while I took my time comparing the different flavors and letting Evie select one, he popped the two shots into her thigh lickety split. She gave a little "oh!" and that was it! No crying, no fuss. She was mainly very excited for her first tootsie pop. Next shots won't be until she's 11!

She passed the rest of her check up with flying colors. At 29 pounds she's in the 5th percentile for her age, but 25% percentile for height. She answered all of Dr. O's questions perfectly - she could say her whole name, tell a story clearly and linearly, knows her colors, can (sort of) catch a ball and hop on one foot without falling over.

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.  

Eating on the road

With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

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.
