Back to school

By
It's time to get back to our regularly scheduled programming! Evie went back to school and Nora moved up to Pre-K yesterday. It was a big day for both of them, and it was super cute how excited they were. Evie wanted me to walk her into her classroom but they apparently don't allow that so I only walked her to the front door of the school, while Nora gave me a big hug and kiss and then merrily waved as I walked out of her new classroom. No tear from the girls OR me! 

Afterwards, Evie declared the day was "AWESOME!" and Nora was mostly happy too. She said it was great and she didn't cry, but her voice was so bored that I couldn't really tell if she was serious or not. I'm happy to report though that today, the second day of school, she greeted me with "I had SO MUCH FUN, Mama!" 

Hope both of them keep their enthusiasm up for the rest of the year!

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.

Alaska Cruise

By
We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
