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!!

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.

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.

Trick or Treat!

By
Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
