Girls weekend in Palm Springs

By
Last weekend I had some girl time with my HS buds down near Palm Springs and we had such a blast. It's been several years since we had some good quality time to catch up because we usually only get together for dinner over Xmas. I've known them going on 30 years now and even though we don't see each other that much anymore, we fall right back into gabbing and laughing our heads off. We worked off all the rose we drank with some pool time and a great hike scrambling up giant boulders near the place we stayed in La Quinta. We also did an escape room, which was my first time and it was super fun. We opted to go for the hardest one and we got out in time (we got hints) but technically didn't solve the puzzle all the way so I feel like we found a loophole in the game! Anyway, the weekend was a really great getaway. Big thank you to Scott and Grammie and Grandpa for watching the girls while I was away!


Dinner at the Cliffhouse in La Quinta.
No filter!

We stayed at the Legacy Villas in La Quinta and the grounds were beautiful!

We escaped!

We made it to the top!

    I was on my girls' trip with CMC friends that same weekend. Aren't trips like that the best? :)

    It was the best! It's so nice to just relax with good friends without constantly looking at the clock to get home. Can't wait to do it again!

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?
