Thankful for green beans and tweezers

By
We started a new holiday tradition last year where we celebrate Thanksgiving on Orcas island with my folks. The girls love Grammy time, crafts and baking.

Well, after a big meal of turkey, cranberry jello, cornbread and green beans we were rubbing our belly’s when Nora discreetly stuffed a large chunk of green bean up her nose. May valiantly tried to pull out the chunk herself but after it seemed futile grandpa called the fire department! They were very sweet with Nora and after a few different attempts (notice kiddo right side up and upside down), success! Out came the bean. The cheering and applause scared Nora but she soon felt better once she was presented with a stuffy by the fire men.

Nora, when you make your case about making wise decisions and ask for a car when you are 16, notice exhibit A above :)

Happy new year!!

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!
