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.  

Skateboarding

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
