Nora's first ski lesson

Nora's first ski lesson is in the bag! She was supposed to have gone a few weeks ago when Ian was here, but because of her eye, we postponed it to last weekend. While she had been excited and itching to go, I was a bit apprehensive because she's not great at doing a new class on her own (like when she took her first soccer class).

I'm happy to report that not only did she have fun, she said she loved it! YIPPEE! I'm really grateful that the instructor was super friendly and patient because we saw another class with a drill sargeant teacher. After class, Nora's teacher said while her little legs aren't strong enough to do a pizza yet, he praised her for her great attitude and that she listened well in class. Good job, Nora!

Ready for lessons!

Beautiful sunny day

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.

Little hands

Evie made me a cute little jewelry tray for Mothers Day back in kindergarten and I've been using it to put little knicknacks like hair ties. I don't know what material it was made out of but it's been slowly crumbling away until Scott finally got fed up with the mess and threw it in the trash. Before he did though, we took a photo of her old hand compared to now. Look how little she used to be! sniff sniff.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
