End of summer

By
I'll post shortly about our fun Labor Day plans but for now, here's some pics from our quick pit stop at Golden Gardens beach. We were in the area because Scott needed to do some work at the boat, and I had forgotten that there's a semi-decent sandy beach in Ballard! It's too bad the water was too seaweedy for the girls to have any interest in going in, and that we forgot all of our beach toys at home. Oh well, they still found stuff to do to stay occupied - like doing cartwheels in the sand and trying to make a mermaid tail out of sand!

Ready! Set! ...

Handstand! Don't be too impressed - she held this for about less than a second.

    Fun! We spent Labor Day at the beach too! I think it's pretty hilarious that your girls are making sand mermaids while my boys are making sand Star Destroyers...

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.

Cousins trip: Banff!

By
Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
