Happy thanksgiving!!

We had a Terrific Thanksgiving weekend up on Orcas Island that was filled with lots of turkey. stuffing, hugs and stories from Grammie and Grandpa, and unfortunately, rain. That didn't stop us from having fun though! We have so much to be thankful for, including the Orcas house that we got to enjoy so much over the weekend. Here's some proof!

There was lots of squealing and excitement to see Grammie!

The girls put on a show.

And for the finale: standing still long enough to get a picture!

Our Turkey feast!

We worked off all the calories by doing flips off daddy.

Nora is so pleased with herself that she can do this now.

We had a morning of no rain and walked into town.
We spied this lawn art on our walk.

Pretty Madrona bark.

Evie, taking a picture of Nora.

More snuggle and books time.

A good rainy day activity: baking cookies. Oatmeal raisin - my favorite!

Happy new year!!

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.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
