Back to School

We have officially started the new school year! Evie is not at Issaquah Middle as a 6th grader, and Nora is in 3rd grade at Sunset Elementary. The two different school schedules is going to take some getting used to. Evie is now taking the bus (!!!) and it picks her up about a block away from our house at 7:14am, which is right about the time Nora wakes up. So far, we've had long mornings getting both kids ready and out the door. 

Evie is enjoying the first few days of middle school, and still trying to navigate when to use her locker and if she wants to waste time in the lunch line vs bringing lunch and being with her friends. Nora likes her new teacher and was originally sad none of her friends are in her class, but she's slowly making new friends so it's good now.

Here's to hoping they each have a wonderful school year!

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.  

Glass art

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!
