Date night

By
One of my birthday presents from Scott was tickets to see Les Mis when the tour came back into town. He got tickets for the day after Evie's birthday and we figured we could have a date night and the kids would love a night with the babysitter eating mac n cheese and watching TV. Sadly, our sitter bailed at the last minute so guess who was my date tonight? She was the best! 

We looked into the orchestra pit during intermission.
Actually, our date night started off not too well. Evie is really easily scared and hates any kind of remotely scary or uncomfortable movie and so I shouldn't have been surprised that within 2 minutes of the show starting, she turned to me and said "I don't like it. I want to go home!". I promised her it would get better and then her sit in my lap while I gave her some jelly bellies for being a good sport. I planned on bailing at intermission if she didn't like it but she ended up liking it! YEAH!

    So fun! Did she like the songs? Did she understand what was going on? The concept of a revolution and people being shot dead must've been pretty heady for her...

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!
