Line em up!

By
I remember being surprised several years ago when I saw someone in Evie's class lining her toys up neatly for play. I know lining toys up isn't remarkable, but didn't occur to me until I saw her play like that that Evie didn't do it. I expressed this to Scott and while I don't think it's bad or good, it was just interesting to me back then because of the different ways little kids' minds work. It's even more interesting to me now because lo and behold, Nora is someone who likes to line up her toys! I've actually never seen Evie do this ever and Nora does this quite often. It makes me wonder what this says about their personalities and natural instincts.

    Maybe it's a cars thing? I remember Max doing this early on, and Ian does this right now with all of his cars. I had hoped it would indicate that the kid wanted to keep things neat and tidy but nope, that doesn't seem to be it -- at least not with Ian, hahaha...

    Yeah, maybe but she does this with other things too. This darn reply won't let me post a pic of Nora lining up her yogurt chips when we were flying down for Christmas!

    There's a girl after my own heart. I still like to line things up...by color, especially
    Gummi Bears and Skittles.

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.
