Paint Date

By
Ever since Evie painted us a ceramics tile at one of her school field trips, we've been thinking going to a Color-Me-Mine type place could be a good rainy day activity to do with the girls. We finally went this past weekend for the first time and I learned two things:
1) It takes a LONG time to paint because you have to do multiple coats
2) Painting only holds the attention of a 2.5 year old for about 5 minutes.

Those two things do not get along so Scott ended up staying with Evie to paint her cheetah while me, my Mom and Dad all took turns trying to entertain Nora by walking around the mall. Oh well, it was fun for about the 5 minutes where we all got to sit down together! We'll get to pick up the finished pieces in about a week and will let you know how they look!

Look at my masterpiece!

Trying to make the Cheetah as life like as possible.

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.

black and blue

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!
