Christmas Card sneak peek!

By
We're usually SO late with taking pictures for our Christmas card. When Evie was 2, we went the weekend of Thanksgiving and her poor lips turned blue from being so cold! I've gotten better since then but only by a few weeks! Thankfully, the weather lately has been pretty warm (low 60s in early Nov is unheard of!) so taking pictures this year was more enjoyable. This time, we trekked to our photographer's farm about an hour outside Seattle to take some outdoor shots. The girls weren't too keen on the petting all the animals (horses, chickens, goats, turkeys, dogs) but we had fun anyway. I'm really happy with how the photos turned out, and can't wait to make our Christmas cards! Here's a sneek peek of the pics, including some outtakes that will not make it on the card. :)


Neither girls look thrilled about this pose.

It took a while for Nora to warm up.

Nora smiled if we had her say "trick or treat!"

or, if she said "I like chocolate!"

And yes, there were bribes (Skittles!) to get these smiles!

    These outtakes are pretty good! Can't wait to see the card and the real photos!

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.

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.

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...
