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.

Family time

By
I had to do a quick trip to LA towards the end of July to say goodbye to my Uncle Pang, who passed away a few weeks earlier. I have fond memories of fun cousin time at his house in Palos Verdes and Uncle Pang taking us to the beach when we were younger. I remember how he delighted in making us kids squeal with laughter by pretending the car ride was a rolleroaster - we'd take sharp turns and all of us kids would slide to one side of his Volvo station wagon or he'd slow the car down to a roll and we'd all chant that we couldn't let the car stop and it would inch slowly forward at a stoplight.  Although it was a sad reason to get together, I think he would be happy to know that the weekend was also a wonderful get together with family. Because it was fairly last minute, none of the kids flew over which meant us "adult cousins" were able to have long talks and linger over food. Kin and Meredith were able to host a summertime bbq at their house and we had a nice t...

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...
