Dancing queens

By
The girls had their dance recital last weekend and guess what? BOTH girls made it on stage and did great. HOORAY!

We are so happy about it because the last time Nora had to do a dance recital, it didn't go so well. She also has been super finicky about going to class the past few weeks. She will cry and cry and refuse to go in, so much so that she missed so many classes we weren't sure she'd even know the routine. When she IS in class, she does great and plays with her friends (there's at least 2 girls from school there, including one of her close friends). In any case, boy were we relieved when we saw her on stage in her cute little ladybug outfit! She mostly knew the routine too but of course was watching the teacher the whole time.

Evie did great, as usual. She loves dance and has requested that she does more classes! Bummer that they didn't let us take videos of the performance to be able to share with you all!

Side note, we tried a new dance studio this year that so far, I have not liked much at all. However, the dance performances were much better than the old studio so I am unsure of whether to keep with it or go back to the other one.  

Cute outfit, but super disliked having to put on all that makeup.

The girls were THRILLED to be able to wear eye shadow!

Cute Nora bug.

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!
