Tea party

By
We had a ladies lunch this past weekend where Evie and I met up with our pals Steph and Vivienne for afternoon tea! We went to this charming little place called Queen Mary's, which lots of people have told me about before. It's small and tight and filled with tea tchotkes but somehow it also feels very cozy. 

The girls loved their afternoon tea meal. What's not to like when you get to eat dessert first (a 3-scoop sorbet palate cleanser), your plate includes royal purple cotton candy and chocolate for dipping fruit, AND you get to wear a tiara the whole time? I didn't get afternoon tea - I opted for curry beef pasties from their lunch menu and while I thought it was really good, I will try their tea next time. 

I can't wait to go back! 


Friends forever!
Trio of sorbet and a tea pot shaped cookie to start

PB&J, purple cotton candy, brownie, and chocolate dipping sauce.

 
Evie got a fruit tea (forgot what kind)

Colorful sugar bowl and cool tea timer.

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.

Apple tasting

By
Over the weekend we popped into the free Apple Tasting and Cider Making at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and it was amazing! There had to have been 30+ varieties and all of them can be found locally on the island. We had a lot of fun sampling away, tasting new varieties that I've never even heard of like Albermarle Pippin or Kennebec or early Fuji or Ashmael Kernel. I hope they do this again next year. Who wants to go with us?
