Snowmaggedon!

By
It's been a week since Snowmaggedon and we're sad there's only little piles of snow left on the ground. It started snowing during the Superbowl and didn't let up until Monday afternoon so we all had a snow day this week. We probably got around 12-18 inches of snow, which is pretty rare here. Even Seattle proper got a few inches!

It was bad timing but I had to travel for work on Monday, and the uber pickup wouldn't (couldn't!) come down into the neighborhood. Scott was nice enough to carry my luggage up the street to meet the driver and then carry my snowboots back home since I wasn't about to lug those things in my luggage!



Pancake breakfast to get ready for snow play!

so quiet and white.

Subaru covered in snow. This was after Scott already cleared
snow off it the night before.

We saw some brave souls try to drive in this and get stuck.

Snow up to Scott's ankles. 
As usual, Nora hated the snow.



Our front light is buried!

two of our gigantic pine trees fell over in the backyard.
Can you see it leaning from the weight of the snow?

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.

Cousins trip: Banff!

By
Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

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.
