Orcas weekend

By

The Orcas house had an open weekend last week so we snagged it to go check in on the house before the end of the year. The recent storms apparently did a ton of damage to our cliff side - the stairs going down are demolished and a couple of scraggly bushes fell over the side! Yikes! 

It was pretty gloomy all weekend so we didn't do too much. Still, it was a nice little getaway and even though we've been a zillion times now, we still discover new things all the time like the gingerbread house contest that they had at the local market. We were super impressed with the entries! 

We made paper wreaths as crafts all weekend long.

This was our fav gingerbread "house". It's a ski chalet and ski lift!

Angry stormy water when we were on the ferry coming home.

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.

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.

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.
