It's the most wonderful time of the year!

By
We've been living in the PNW for (gasp!) 8 years now and have never gone to cut down our own Christmas tree. Since this past weekend had beautiful, dry, sunny (but cold) weather, we decided to finally try it out and headed over to Trinity Tree Farm. 

If you've never gone to cut your own tree, let me tell you - it is surprisingly hard to agree on the perfect tree! We walked up and down the aisles, searching for the one that's just the right height (taller than Daddy!), not too fat but not too thin, isn't crooked, and doesn't have many bald spots. You'd think it would be easy but it's not. That's okay though, it was a beautiful day and we had fun stomping around among the trees. 


All bundled up!

See anything you like, Nora?

We found "our" tree!

Daddy's strong enough to cut down the tree!


And, here's the final product! Pretty nice, huh? It was a fun day but I think we might just stick to Home Depot next year!

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.

1 week checkup

We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
