More birthday goodness

Grammie and Grandpa were kind enough to watch the girls on Sunday so that we could go have a birthday date night and since it was my birthday, I got to pick the spot and I picked HOTPOT! Scott is not a fan so this is really the only time that I can force him to go without much pushback. 

Since Scott hadn't tried Little Sheep Hotpot yet, that's where we went. We ordered way too much food, of course, and burned our mouths with the spicy soup but it was worth it! His final verdict was it was good, but he prefers one of the other hotpot places we have been to before. All I really paid attention to was "it was good" so I think there might be more hotpot in the future now? =)

Thanks, Scott, for the yummy hotpot dinner. Thanks, Grammie and Grandpa for watching the girls!

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.

Apple tasting

Over the weekend we popped into the free Apple Tasting and Cider Making at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and it was amazing! There had to have been 30+ varieties and all of them can be found locally on the island. We had a lot of fun sampling away, tasting new varieties that I've never even heard of like Albermarle Pippin or Kennebec or early Fuji or Ashmael Kernel. I hope they do this again next year. Who wants to go with us?
