Back to School

By

School officially started for the two girls last Tuesday, September 1st. The girls were excited for the day but it felt like a bit of a let down for me - ushering them to sit down in front of a screen downstairs isn't quite the same as dropping them off at school! 

Nora loved her first day- she said her teacher was nice and class was super easy. Evie said her first day was okay, but she was very happy to see a lot of her friends in class with her. I sort of wonder if the school put friends into the same class on purpose to make remote learning a bit more fun because I was surprised to see how many of her group of friends were in this class with her.

Now that we are one week in, the shininess of school has worn off and the girls have even separated so that Evie does her classes up in her room while Nora is using my desk downstairs. We've gotten the hang (mostly) of setting Alexa alarms so they both know when to log back into their zoom classes.

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...
