Introducing CHARLIE CHIP SIMPSON!

After many many months of waiting, doing a ton of cat research and saving money to pay for cat gear, the girls finally got to pick up their new pet: Charlie Chip Simpson!

The trip to get him was quite the trek - it took me 1.5 hrs to drive down to Tacoma to pick him up from the foster family who was taking care of him. He immediately took a liking to the girls and actually was super curious and crawled right into the cat carrier too. He was very vocal and meowed a lot in the car but was basically a really good boy. In fact, he's been a really great cat so far - he's very talkative and very needy. He wants to play and be scratched all day long. It can get very tiresome during the day when he wants to hang out on my keyboard or scramble around the desk and my chair while I'm on calls! The girls love loving him and chase him around or pick him up all the time, and considering how much that must be a nuisance, he's super patient with them.

So far, everything is good! So good in fact that the kids want to get another cat! :O

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.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Harmonica girl

Evie saw Ian's video playing the harmonica so of course had to get one. She's been playing up a storm. Good thing it keeps both of the girls entertained!
