Our little fish

By
Evie moved up to the "Strokes" swim class this week! The teachers had said they think Evie just needs more confidence with swimming and that stroke class might help. I didn't really believe them until I saw her today swim the long length of the pool all by herself, without any floats, for the first time ever! I felt like such a proud mama. She needs to work on taking short breaths out of the water because she tends to tread for a few seconds before she resumes swimming, but she did really great in general. She also tried flippers for the first time and kept talking to me afterwards about how fast they made her go.

Excited to try fins!

Go, Evie, go!

    Wow, good job, Evie! You'll have to teach Ian some moves when we're in Hawaii together next month!

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.

Little hands

By
Evie made me a cute little jewelry tray for Mothers Day back in kindergarten and I've been using it to put little knicknacks like hair ties. I don't know what material it was made out of but it's been slowly crumbling away until Scott finally got fed up with the mess and threw it in the trash. Before he did though, we took a photo of her old hand compared to now. Look how little she used to be! sniff sniff.

Trick or Treat!

By
Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
