Vegas, Baby!

Last weekend I joined Way in Vegas since she was there for a conference. Our cousin, Samantha, came too and we made a fun girls weekend out of it! Well, actually, since Way had the conference during the day and I worked remotely, we really just made a few fun nights out of it - which Vegas is perfect for! And, as we get older, a "fun" night really just means awesome meals with good company. We splurged for one meal at Le Cirque and then had a more casual dinner at Lotus of Siam. Both were really good, but in different ways. We ended with a lunch at a Chinese noodle place in Caesar's Palace that was pretty, but really not worth the price! I didn't take many pictures - here's a few that I have.


Le Cirque was what you'd imagine - good service, intimate setting, really good albeit not totally inventive food.

Neat entry to the restaurant - it was a hallway of goldfish!

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!
