Cousin weekend

Over President's day weekend, Ian and Owen came to visit and the girls were beyond delirious with happiness and excitement over seeing their cousins. Evie will sometimes say "Ian is my best friend", which Nora has now added "Owen is my best friend". It's super cute and so great to see these kiddos playing so well together. Cross your fingers that lasts forever! 

It was a fun filled weekend of hanging out at home watching the Olympics, visiting the Museum of Flight and a nearby brewery, and trekking up to the pass for some sledding action. Here's a few snaps of the fun!

They spent hours playing with this marble game.
It was a good Xmas present from PohPoh and Goong Goong!

We watched the videos we took during the day and apparently it was funny.
So cute and sweet how these two are buddies!

The only "good" group shot I got of these kiddos in the snow.

Even Owen went sledding and loved it!

There was also a good snowball fight. It was Scott versus....

everyone else!

Owen thought it was funny when his mommy would smash snow in her hands.
 Nora's reverse snow angel!

Happy as a clam playing with the snow. What a difference from last year!

You can't really tell in the pics but the snow was new and soft and deep!

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.  

Cousins trip: Banff!

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.
