Orcas time with the Mackies

We decided on a last minute Orcas getaway before the busy tourist season starts to really get underway and our friends, the Mackies, were up for the hasty adventure! We had a grand time with them - the weather cooperated for the most part but even when it was a little wet and cold out, the girls LOVED playing outside and I got to stay toasty warm inside with their new baby, Cecily. We also got to tramp around on a hike and tried a new (to us) restaurant too. It was a good weekend in my book!

Love their expressions in this photo!

Splashing in the waterfall with our rainboots was fun!

These goobers!

Her highness needed to be carried for most of the hike.

My Shrimp and Grits at the New Leaf Cafe was DEEEE-LISH!

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!
