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.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Line em up!

By
I remember being surprised several years ago when I saw someone in Evie's class lining her toys up neatly for play. I know lining toys up isn't remarkable, but didn't occur to me until I saw her play like that that Evie didn't do it. I expressed this to Scott and while I don't think it's bad or good, it was just interesting to me back then because of the different ways little kids' minds work. It's even more interesting to me now because lo and behold, Nora is someone who likes to line up her toys! I've actually never seen Evie do this ever and Nora does this quite often. It makes me wonder what this says about their personalities and natural instincts.
