42

By

I turned 42 on Monday and since my birthday was on a Monday, that meant that we actually spent the ENTIRE WEEKEND celebrating my birthday. Score! :)

In actuality, I got my second COVID vaccine on Saturday which put a bit of a damper on the entire weekend because I felt pretty miserable on Sunday and Monday. But, I was still able to squeeze in a walk through the Rhodedendron gardens, some hotpot, and some sunshine. All in all, not a super exciting birthday but I'm grateful for another year around the sun with good health, and my family's good health all, so I can't really complain. 

Oh but Scott did also get me a piano, and so far, that's been pretty neat! 


Nora took this video/photo of me getting my shot!

Afterwards, we went to the Rhodendron gardens and the kids stopped long enough for me to take a picture.

My Chocolate Mousse cake!


Birthday morning presents!

Birthday lunch - Korean ramen bowl. It was a hectic day at work so I made something fast that I can slurp up between meetings.


Birthday hotpot dinner. YES!!


We had a couple of really lovely warm days (upper 70s) so Scott sat outside doing work.

While Nora insisted it was warm enough to be in a bathing suit.

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.

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

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...
