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.

Alaska Cruise

By
We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.
