Christmas roundup

Happy new year! Can't believe we're already almost 10 days into the new year and we didn't even share pics from the rest of our LA trip. Our two weeks in LA flew by and we all had a wonderful, relaxing time visiting with family. The trip was pretty low key though because of the rain but also because COVID and weather woes made it difficult to see family and friends. It was still a nice break though, and the kids were super sad to leave. Here's hoping that we will finally have a normal Christmas again next year!

Dimsum take out to celebrate Samantha's 40th turn around the sun!

Nora was sick, so she and I took a nap one of the afternoons and it felt sooooo nice.

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.

black and blue

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!
