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.

1 week checkup

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.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
