Daddy birthday weekend

By
Scott's birthday often falls over Memorial Day weekend, which, lucky for him, means we always get a long weekend of celebration time! This year, we went up to Orcas Island with Grammie and Grandpa and had a great time again. Here's some pics of what we did, but the highlights were: watching the aerial performers for the Greatest Showman theater production we got tickets to, biking around town, teaching Evie how to play monopoly and Grammie's yummy chocolate birthday cake! The drive home was terrible though - the ferry was late so even though we had reservations for the 10pm ferry, we didn't get home until 3am! Note to self that for next year, we should leave on Tuesday instead.
  
No wrapping paper so we improvised!

Rainy day = learning to play Monopoly. Evie was hooked!

Evie is loving the Fudge series. She giggles through out it.

We went to watch a theater production of The Greatest Showman, which the girls LOVED. They enjoyed the music and the acrobats, especially.

yummy yummy homemade chocolate birthday cake.

Nora crept into our bed one night. How cute are they?

Daisy chain crowns.

Lots of fun time playing outside

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.

1 week checkup

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.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
