Snow Day!

By
Seattle usually gets one or two snow storms blow through each season and this year looked like it was going to be a bust, especially since Puxatawny Phil came out last week to say Spring was around the corner. Well, we shouldn't have let our guards down because we got a doozy of a snowstorm on Sunday night!

The snow started right around when the Superbowl kicked off and was off and on until about 11am on Monday morning. The result was about 10 inches of snow for us - easily the most we've gotten in our house since we moved here. School was cancelled and the girls were deliriously happy and had a marvelous time playing in the powdery snow in the morning. By the afternoon though they were pretty stir crazy and there was lots of yelling and crying in the house. 

The sun is out today but the temperatures will stay below freezing. Schools are out again. The weather is forecasting below freezing temps most of the week with another possible snowstorm at the end of the week. Yay for a few more weeks of winter!

Between 8 and 9 inches at about 8 am in the morning.

Pretty fun to be the first ones to make snow tracks
 
Snow was too powdery to make a snowman.

Japan trip

By
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was!  Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable.  Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd

Family time

By
I had to do a quick trip to LA towards the end of July to say goodbye to my Uncle Pang, who passed away a few weeks earlier. I have fond memories of fun cousin time at his house in Palos Verdes and Uncle Pang taking us to the beach when we were younger. I remember how he delighted in making us kids squeal with laughter by pretending the car ride was a rolleroaster - we'd take sharp turns and all of us kids would slide to one side of his Volvo station wagon or he'd slow the car down to a roll and we'd all chant that we couldn't let the car stop and it would inch slowly forward at a stoplight.  Although it was a sad reason to get together, I think he would be happy to know that the weekend was also a wonderful get together with family. Because it was fairly last minute, none of the kids flew over which meant us "adult cousins" were able to have long talks and linger over food. Kin and Meredith were able to host a summertime bbq at their house and we had a nice t

Glasses

By
Nora got glasses! Now all of us in the family are four-eyes, haha. Her prescription is low but she was super excited about getting these. When she is older and hates glasses, I'll have to remind her how happy she was to get these!
