Musical chairs

This working and schooling from home thing is hard! It is nice that it means where we work/learn is flexible but it's also bad in that the kids don't stick to a dedicated place to get online for school. Nora, especially, can't seem to find the right spot for doing work. She is VERY SQUIRMY and needs someone to be on her to pay attention to the teacher and to do her work in between zoom calls. She's been doing a round robin of which taskmaster gets to sit with her each day to keep her on track!

At the beginning of the year, both kids took over the office.

Evie eventually moved up to her room, and Nora wanted to follow.

One afternoon I came into the hall and saw this. She pulled all of this there herself.



Lately, she's been wanting to sit with me so here she is on the side chair in her room.

Sometimes, she doesn't sit on the chair.... 

Since that set up wasn't great, I moved back down with her into the office. 
Here's my office buddy today.

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.  

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

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.
