Happy 6th Birthday, Eve-meister!

By
A birthday is an event in and of itself, but turning 6 for Evie was a doozy!

The day started off pretty good - she woke up super early at 6am to open her gifts and was happy as a clam before she went to school.

Smiley girl who turned 6!

We got a call from school in the early afternoon that this little girl fell off a climbing rock and hurt her wrist pretty badly. A quick trip to the doctor and a pink splint later to keep her fractured wrist straight, here's our little munchkin:



She really wanted to do TGIF (Parent's Night Out) at school for her birthday, where the kids get to stay late and play while us parents get to have a date night. I think missing TGIF is what made her the saddest but we made do by ordering Chinese food ( we had to get her favorite Orange Chicken!) and rented Sing to have a movie night. We also bought a store-made Apple Pie at her request and while it made for a good picture, the pie itself wasn't so good. Oh well!

Evie - I hope you have a wonderful year and that all of your wishes come true! You are growing up to be such a sweet, silly, and smart girl. I wish everyone in the world had a kid like Evie!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVIE! That's an awesome photo of Evie blowing out the candles -- she looks like she's trying SO HARD to make her wish come true! And hey, at least with the sprained wrist she'll always remember turning 6...

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.
