Dance Recital

By
We had the girls first dance recital this past weekend! After almost an entire year of dance (combo for Evie, princess ballet for Nora), now was the time to finally show off what they'd learned! 

All smiles backstage before the show
Evie did great. She was super excited for the performance and buzzing around with her friends before the show. We coached Evie on smiling and doing big movements so that people sitting at the bach of the theater could also see her. Considering her bored expressions during school performances, I think she did awesome at this recital!

Here's her routine. She's the one all the way on the left:


Nora on the other hand....
This little girl did great during the rehearsal, In fact, she was on one of the better behaved of the kids up on stage. 
  
On the day of the performance though, it was another story! Apparently, Nora hurt her hand on a door on the way to the stage and ending up crying and refused to go on. If you ask Evie, she'll tell you that she thinks Nora got scared because Evie went on stage during her routine and Nora didn't realize she had left the kids room. In any case, Nora recovered enough that she was able to walk on stage for the final curtain call. So, at least, she went on stage and heard applause! haha.

I don't have a video of the day-of-performance (I stopped taping when I realized she wasn't on stage), but I did capture the dress rehearsal:

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.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Harmonica girl

By
Evie saw Ian's video playing the harmonica so of course had to get one. She's been playing up a storm. Good thing it keeps both of the girls entertained!
