Back to school!

By

I can't believe the day finally came! 

The girls are back at school full time, in person! They haven't been in school since March of last year and they were SO EXCITED to go back. They did not want me waiting with them or walking to the school entrance; they insisted I drop them off at before school care and truthfully, the new set up on check-in was not super clear to me so pretty much the girls walked away without even saying bye. I tapped on the classroom window to wave but they didn't hear me, they were too excited saying hi to their friends. I was sad.

They started last Tuesday, and so far, so good. Evie has Mr Merrill, the only boy teacher in the entire school, but she seems pretty happy so far with how things are going. Nora got a new-to-us teacher named Mrs Porter, and also seems to be doing fine. 

The COVID protocols are pretty baffling to me - I sincerely don't understand why folks are upset that we want kids to mask up. We had a bit of a scare when Nora came down with a fever the other day but we made her stay home from school until we got test results back saying she was negative for COVID! I didn't think she had it (she wasn't exposed to our knowledge) but wanted to be double-safe and cautious, just in case. 

Here's hoping this year is smooth and much steadier, and more fun, than last year!

    I like Nora's style -- going bling to celebrate her first day back!

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.

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!

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!
