Family time!

By
This is an old post that was in my draft folder! It's been a few weeks but I can't resist sharing these photos.

Way, Kevin, Ian and my parents all came up for a long weekend and we made the most of it by heading directly to Orcas Island so we could show off the new house. We had an awesome time, and the house was filled with happy kid noises. We were so happy that the weather was great and we can show them all the reasons why Orcas is so great. Come back soon and visit us again, guys! Mi casa es su casa!!

Ferry ride!

Great weather meant it was warm enough to sit outside on the ferry.

It's kind of like a cruise, right?

Me and my baby
Saturday night was this little girls' birthday! 

Presents are so fun to open, even if they aren't mine! 
Pit stop before lunch on Sunday.
Some adult time sans kids at the local brewery

It took a few days, but Nora eventually warmed up again to Yee Yee!

Warm enough that this guy even sat outside to enjoy the sunset!

No Northwest trip is complete without a "hike".

At least the hike took us to a cool waterfall!

The whole family went on the hike!

Mommy! I got TWO pockets!!

Happy new year!!

By
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

By
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!
