Happy Birthday Evie

By
Wow, 7 years old. It's been a couple years since we hosted a party for Evie, so this year we let her pick something outside of our house with her school buddies. Evie is always making or drawing something so she chose a watercolor class party.

Evie and her 8 buddies (plus Nora) painted a pretty outdoor landscape scene with their instructor providing tips along the way. It looked like fun. To top it off we had yummy chocolate cake. I ate way more than any of the kids, including Nora if you can believe it (she ate a small hole into the middle of her piece).

After recovering back at home and opening a few more presents, we went out for dinner in Issaquah. Evie chose Greek food for the lemon rice soup. The restaurant wait was long, but it was fun. To top off the evening we went out for a little frozen yogurt. Evie didn't choose any old flavor, she chose POG flavor with candy 'Nerds' sprinkled on top. Nora chose, well, not frozen yogurt... but a purple lollipop!

Happy birthday Evie! You are a wonderful little girl.

Her buddies!





And here's some pics of her putting together her party favors a few days ago. Since Evie loves writing in notepads, we go her friends some cool notebooks and gel pens.

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.

1 week checkup

By
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.

"Big Girls" trip!

By
Evie and I had such a blast visiting Ian and Owen this past weekend in San Francisco! It was the first time she and I took a "big girls" trip away from Daddy and Nora for so long and while we missed those two, it was great for us to have 1 on 1 time together.  Anyway, our trip was a too-short weekend getaway, but we packed it in with yummy food, a sweet-filled trip to the Jelly Belly factory, LOTS of lego time, and lots of cuddling time with Owen! Little baby O was such a cutie pie - he was so good during our trip. He only cried when he was tired and hungry and he didn't seem scared of me at all! He let me hold and snuggle with him - I've forgotten how tiny but how sweet little babies are. He also had several expressions that made him look so much like his big brother. I can't wait to see his little face again! Bouncing with excitement on our flight down to SF. In line at the Jelly Belly factory. SO MANY BEANS! All waiting to be packed and ship...
