Whidbey day trip

By

Scott has been super keen on looking at vacation properties on Whidbey Island, so we did a last minute trip the other day. It's been a long long time since we've gone and explored the island so it was pretty fun to drive around to the various neighborhoods.

The highlights:
- Penn Cove Brewery has not one, not two, but THREE taprooms on the island! I have never even heard of them before this trip! We stopped by one of them and while it was chilly/breezy out, there was lots of open space for the kids to run around. The food from the food truck was on the expensive side, but it was pretty tasty and we had some fun beers to try.
- For Ebey State Park is a neato place that we will want to go back to for sure. We've done the hike on Ebey's bluff  before and this was a different part of the park, and just as beautiful. Definitely someplace to explore some more.
- Whidbey Island Ice Cream
- Exploring DoubleBluff beach. I'm not sure why it's called this, but the girls had a ton of fun riding their driftwood boat in the little water shallows.

I love that this guy photo bombed us!

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.

1 week checkup

By
We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
