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!!

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?
