Evie turns 5!

By
Happy birthday, Evie mcEversons!! I know your birthday was last Thursday, but I'm going to pretend it was today because you had your 5 year doc checkup today. :)

You are an amazing little girl and I'm so proud to be able to say I'm your mama. At 5, you are as chatty as ever, whether its narrating little scenes when you play with your dolls or starting conversations the minute you wake up. I get a kick out of the way you hula and shake your hips when you dance, especially to your favorite song Taylor Swift's Shake It Off.

You are a kind and very involved big sister. You like to give Nora kisses, you (mostly) don't mind share all your snacks and toys with her and are always watching out for her. On Sunday, you didn't want to go on a playdate without Nora because you were worried she would miss you!

You still scare easily - you made us turn off Ratatouille because it was scary. It was slightly exasperating but truthfully, I'm glad you are so innocent and haven't grown up too fast. The worst you've done is become obsessed with nail polish.

You are a great eater and will put away most anything we give to you, although you haven't really been a fan of Indian food so far. You love soup noodles (YAY!) and declare your favorite dinner to be Trader Joe's frozen Orange Chicken. Even though you insist you have sugar, you can't resist popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, frozen blueberries or cupcake frosting.

At 5, you weigh 32 pounds (3 %-ile) and stand 42 inches tall (35%-ile). You might be pint sized, but you have a heart as big as a whale! Love you!

Family time

By
I had to do a quick trip to LA towards the end of July to say goodbye to my Uncle Pang, who passed away a few weeks earlier. I have fond memories of fun cousin time at his house in Palos Verdes and Uncle Pang taking us to the beach when we were younger. I remember how he delighted in making us kids squeal with laughter by pretending the car ride was a rolleroaster - we'd take sharp turns and all of us kids would slide to one side of his Volvo station wagon or he'd slow the car down to a roll and we'd all chant that we couldn't let the car stop and it would inch slowly forward at a stoplight.  Although it was a sad reason to get together, I think he would be happy to know that the weekend was also a wonderful get together with family. Because it was fairly last minute, none of the kids flew over which meant us "adult cousins" were able to have long talks and linger over food. Kin and Meredith were able to host a summertime bbq at their house and we had a nice t

Japan trip

By
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was!  Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable.  Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd

Miss Evie becomes a teenager

By
EEEK! We officially have a teenager in our house!  I can't believe our little Evie is now 13 years old. I can still see her as a little girl saying "Swiper no swiping!"  For her birthday this year, she and a few of the neighborhood girls went to get their nails done at the salon nearby. She doesn't remember the last time she got her nails professionally done ( back in 2016! ) so she was pretty excited about it. She picked a very pretty teal color. Afterwards, the girls had some cake.  To celebrate her actual birthday, her ask was for tv time, shopping and sushi. So after a morning spent hanging out in from the tv, we headed to Bellevue Square mall where guess what? She got a phone! Technically, I got a new phone and handed down my old phone to her. We spent a good 3 hours doing all the transfers but she was very patient about it and grinning from ear to ear when we went to dinner that night.  At 13, Evie has become a very stereotypical teenage girl - she loves clothes
