Snow days!

The weather system that was predicted to come in this week started Sunday night and dumped enough snow here that school has been cancelled for 2 days now! The girls, of course, have been ecstatic. The first storm brought in a few inches that started to melt away, but then today it snowed lightly but steadily from early AM to about 1pm and added a few more inches.  The last storm hits tonight, but supposedly will be a little more north of us so we aren't expected to get as much snow but temps will stay below freezing. This wasn't anything like the epic snowmaggedon we got last year (see here, and then here, and lastly here) that lasted in total about a week, but it's still been a fun start to the season!


Checking out the snow outside


We walked over the park but it was kinda slushy and muddy

Evie was such a good sport pulling Nora on the way back from the park.

The girls had to keep themselves occupied while they waited for Scott and I to get off work to join them outside. I shouldn't have patted myself on the back too early about how well they played on their own though because guess what I spotted on Evie? Check out her pic!! She played dumb and then said that she did it last week but she's a terrible liar and I could tell she was embarrassed. What a silly girl! 

Kinds of Audrey-Hepburn-esque, right?

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!

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.
