Happy new year!

By
2020 has really started off at a slow crawl. I got sick the last day we were in LA, and then must have passed it on to Scott and Evie because they both came down with something and were out of commission on the 30th and 31st. Our NYE was spent lounging on the couch watching a Star Wars documentary. 

Luckily, both felt good enough for a low key New Years day outing to the Science Museum in Seattle. We really wanted to go sledding but the weather was too warm (read: lots of rain!) for it to snow so we opted to stay dry and revisit a museum we haven't been to in a while. Turned out to be a great option for us because we ended up spending almost the entire day there and visited exhibits we hadn't seen before and watched an IMAX about extinct animals. 

The 2010s was a wonderful decade that brought in tons of changes into our lives - 2 kids, 2 new houses, 4 new jobs (more on that in another post!), 2 new cars, lots of trips and activities but mainly a surprising love for the Hawaiian islands. Here's to hoping that the 2020s will be as chill and low key as the first day!

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.

Cousins trip: Banff!

By
Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

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.
