Happy birthday to me!

By
I rung in my 41st birthday with a nice, low-key day! While our original plan of having breakfast in Hawaii (where we should have been this week for spring break) didn't pan out, it still was a great day. I was able to keep work at a minimum, spent a lot of quality time hanging with the girls and Scott and ate some delicious food. Really, all that matters is that we are all healthy and happy and together. I wish for this to continue for many many more years to come!  


Birthday breakfast surprise

We taught the girls to play Carcassone
Going on a hike on a trail near our house. Since Cougar Mountain is basically in our backyard, we have lots of trails to choose from. We probably did about 2.5 miles in and back (5 miles total)

Practicing using masks. 

The trail follows Coal Creek so there were lots of bridges crossing the water.
More bridges


Took a while to get her to smile naturally

No cake for dessert but we had strawberries and chocolate! (and sparkly rose!)

This girl looooooves chocolate!

    Happy birthday! I'm SUPER sad we didn't get to spend it together in Hawaii. :( Hopefully next year! But I'm glad you still had a fun day.

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.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
