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.

1 week checkup

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!
