Happy Anniversary to Us!

By
Last Sunday was Scott and my 11th wedding anniversary! We celebrated as a family by going on a hike and then going go get fondue! We've never been before and thought the girls would get a kick out of it. Who doesn't like melty cheesy food and chocolate dipped anything, right? Turns out they weren't so into the cheese or the main course (hot pot is WAAAAAAY better) but of course, they could not get enough of the chocolate. Nora would have licked her plate and the chocolate pot if we had let her! 

Say CHEESE while you eat cheese!

Chocolate is life!
Scott and I celebrated on our own yesterday by going out to dinner at Opus Co, a small, hip restaurant down the street from our old house in Phinney while the girls hung out with Grammy and Grandpa. This restaurant has been on my list to try for a while now and in fact, I've made (and had to cancel) reservations with them probably three times already for various reasons. Anyway, we finally made it and it was fun and interesting and so cool to have such a foodie type restaurant in our old hood. Made me feel warm and fuzzy inside! We did the tasting menu and I neglected to take photos of all of our dishes, so here's just a few.

Smoked meat app: pork rillete with picked watermelon,
smoked pork loin with a szechuan peppercorn crust, and lamb spam 
Super yummy salad with a tomato crisp, spicy chick peas, pickled okra and cilantro vinagrette. Super good.


Homemade sausage and Pork something. Side of crispy rice, pickled turnips and heirloom cucumbers with something something. :)

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

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!
