Happy (belated) birthday, Nora!

Happy (belated) birthday, my little Nora-bear! 

At 2 years old, Nora is a little bit mischievous but oh so lovable. It takes a while for her to warm up to someone, but when she does, she is cuddly and give great hugs and kisses. 

She loves singing the ABCs now, and can mostly count to ten and sometimes higher. She likes to scribble draw, playing with planes and trains and her current favorite book is a Children's Song book.

She still does the adorable "mmmmmm" noises when she eats something she likes, but recently she also started declaring "yummy in my tummy tummy!" Most of the time, it just comes out as "tummy tummy!" though! She love sweets and is always asking for candy and snacks, but also loves eggs (hard boiled or fried), sausage, bacon and noodles. She's still not great at sitting in her seat at the dinner table, but it's really hard to say no to that cutie pie face when shes asks to sit on your lap. Even Evie will relent and let Nora sit with her when Nora asks.

Nora loves her big sister and is often urging her on with "Come on, Eves!" Scott caught the two of them in the walk-in closet at the Orcas house last weekend given each other back scratches!

Nora is actually 2 years and 12 days old because I'm late with this post, but let's just pretend I posted on August 13th. :)

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...
