Orcas in the fall

By
We took a quick weekend trip up to Orcas to catch the last bits of summer last weekend. Our friends Annie and Vinh, and their two littles Asa and Finn joined us and we had a great time! The kids got along great - the girls were fascinated by little Finn, who is only 8 months old. They wanted to sit next to him at meal time and they thought he was the funniest thing. Asa joined in and played around with whatever the girls played so everyone got along great.

The four munchkins.

These two cuddled up to share watching Peppa Pig.

They even obliged when I asked for a photo op!


No trip to Orcas is complete without a stop at Buck Bay for fresh oysters and clams!

Yay for sunny days and clear skies.

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

By
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!
