Happy 5th Birthday!

Our little nugget turned 5 today! I can't believe how grown up this little girl is!

At 5, Nora's favorite foods continue to be anything chocolate, ice cream and mac n cheese. Like her sister, she's branched out a bit though and requested "Evie's favorite chicken" (ie: orange chicken) and rice with egg and soy sauce for her birthday dinner. Easy and done! She's also a little bit adventurous with chili and will add a drop or two of Sriracha into her fried rice now. :)

At 5, Nora is an excellent whistler! She somehow started practicing this a few months ago and has now mastered it. I'm very impressed because it's way better than what I can do. I also really loved that we are able to use this as an awesome example of practice makes perfect.

At 5, Nora has learned to ride a bike as of a few days ago. She's still not super athletic though - she's not very interested in soccer scrimmages and is not a confident swimmer, but I am happy that she at least tries.

At 5, Nora still loooves Blankie. She sleeps with him every night. During the day, she still pulls her shirt over her nose to simulate what she does with Blankie. We've tried telling her to stop but it's eaiser said than done, of course.

At 5, Nora is very much like the sprinkles that were on her cupcake: sweet, fun and a bit messy! We wouldn't want her any other way.

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.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

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!
