Since Evie likes to write and color, of course Nora wants to write and color too! Most of the time we give her a pencil that hasn't been sharpened yet so she can pretend to write. Sometimes (like at restaurants!) she gets crayons and gets really happy about being able to write. Here she is at Rainforest Cafe, coloring her menu.
Hard to work
I wasn't able to capture it on video, but she started to stab the paper and make lots of dots. She thought it was the funnest thing ever! It reminded me so much of when Evie was close to this same age and did the same thing. Here's a video from 2 years ago - don't they look so alike?
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!

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.
