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.  

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.

Alaska Cruise

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...
