And here's Penny!

By
It's been a minute since we last posted an update, probably because we've been pre-occupied with our new furry family members! And yes, you read that right - members with an "s" because we got not one, but TWO, cats! 

Little Charlie is a great cat that loves hanging with us, but was so talkative (read: meows a whole bunch) and playful (read: always wanting attention) that we figured he needed a pal! That lead us to getting Penny Pancake! 

Penny (formerly known as Mary Ann) is a torty shell cat that we adopted from a shelter when she was about 2.5 months old. It took a while for her and Charlie to acclimate to one another but now things are going great! She's shy at first but after she gets to know you, she's both so cuddly but also feisty and fearless and super curious about everything. She is quite the instigator and will bop Charlie on the head to play. 

Here's some more pictures of our new furry kids!

Look how little she is!

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.

Apple tasting

By
Over the weekend we popped into the free Apple Tasting and Cider Making at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and it was amazing! There had to have been 30+ varieties and all of them can be found locally on the island. We had a lot of fun sampling away, tasting new varieties that I've never even heard of like Albermarle Pippin or Kennebec or early Fuji or Ashmael Kernel. I hope they do this again next year. Who wants to go with us?
