Our little fish

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!

  1. 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.

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.  

Trick or Treat!

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!
