Sound of Music is one of my all-time favorite movies and was the very first movie we let Evie watch (well, just the Do-Re-Mi scene) several years ago. She sort of forgot about it for a while but a few weeks ago, on our drive down to Portland, PohPoh turned on her iTunes and we had a sing-a-long in the car. Since then, Evie's been really into "the kids" and all the songs they sing. She's even made me look up each "kid" online to see what they look like as adults (go IMDB them - it's fun!).
Anyway, this movie is her current Saturday morning TV-time favorite. We let her watch up until the "good night cuckoo" song, but it's enough to keep her singing and dancing all week long. I'm so happy that my love of this movie has passed down to my girls!
Even Nora wants to know "how do you solve a problem like Maria?"
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.
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...
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.
