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.

Skateboarding

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.

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...
