Girls trip!

By
Last weekend I took the girls on my own down to LA to party at baby Owen's 100 day celebration. We had such a fun time hanging out with all the cousins and eating yummy Chinese food. I was a bit nervous taking the girls on my own but we made a big deal about it being a Girls Trip and that they needed to behave themselves. It seems to have worked because for the most part, they did well. Can't wait to do more of these with my girlies in the future! Here's some pics from the weekend festivities. 

Ready for blast off! 

Nora LOVED hanging out with Owen.
In fact, she spent most of her time cooing at him
instead of playing with the bigger kids.

Don't you want to just eat him up??

I took out my wedding dress to show the girls
and let Evie play with my veil.

All dressed and ready to par-tay!

ummm, Nora, do you like Chocolate?

Thanks, Auntie Samantha, for the yummy chocolate cupcakes!

Cousin Oliver with Auntie Gale.

Auntie Meredith and the gang.

Owen fell asleep in the car on the way to lunch on Monday.
He little hands were holding on to the toy. So cute!

Such a sweet little face!

Nora loves her Yee Yee!

Saying goodbye was the hardest part.
Evie loves Ian and often calls him her best friend.

Snuggles on the flight home.
It was a late flight (got in at 8;30) and
 Nora was pretty cranky by the time we landed.

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.

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.

Apple tasting

By
Over the weekend we popped into the free Apple Tasting and Cider Making at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and it was amazing! There had to have been 30+ varieties and all of them can be found locally on the island. We had a lot of fun sampling away, tasting new varieties that I've never even heard of like Albermarle Pippin or Kennebec or early Fuji or Ashmael Kernel. I hope they do this again next year. Who wants to go with us?
