I have this theory that you are officially "old" when you have a certain era of music you keep going back to. Sure, I listen to the Top 40 stations still but if you want to get me out on a dance floor, putting on hits from the 90s is the best way to get me to start boppin'! So, when I heard New Kids on the Block was touring with Boyz II Men AND Paula Abdul, I couldn't resist getting tickets to the concert. I was able to convince my old buddies to go too and we made a girls night out of it by meeting up in San Jose for the night! It was the perfect middle point for our group that was coming from LA, SF and Seattle.
The concert was, no surprise, oh-so-fun! Boyz II Men sang all their hits and the concert ended up being a massive sing-a-long fest. Paula Abdul might've been lip synching, but she's still got the moves and could energize the crowd. And, NKOTB was super entertaining - I didn't know a lot of their songs but they sure know how to work the crowd (of mostly middle aged women! haha).
Bonus was that I was able to extend the trip so that I could visit my cute nephews and hang out with Way for a bit!
Thanks, Scott, for watching the girls over the weekend!

Girls reliving their teenage years!
Just one of the many videos we took. The entire crowd was singing along!
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.
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!
It was such a fun weekend for me too! Thanks for spearheading the planning!
