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.

Alaska Cruise

By
We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...
