The Nutcracker

By
We took Evie to the Nutcracker last year and enjoyed it so much we wanted to do it again this year. Tickets are expensive though so I found a local ballet company that performs in Bellevue that is much cheaper ($16 tix) and has shortened performances in the afternoon that's specifically geared for families with young kids. Awesome idea because it meant I didn't mind taking Nora with us this time. Scott even wanted to join in on the fun.

And fun it was! The show obviously wasn't as high quality as the Seattle one, but it was still fun to hear the music and to watch the ballerinas twirl around on stage. I was really impressed that both girls sat quietly through the whole thing which was about 1.5 hours long (including intermission). The LOVED getting dressed up for the event, and loved even more the lollipop treat we surprised them with for being so good.

I think we have a tradition starting up!

All smiles before the show.
They shared a seat for part of the show.
Love the look on their sweet faces!
After the concert!

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.

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!
