Evie turns 12

By

How did my little girl already turn 12???!!! 😭😮😭

She's so grown up now! At 12, Evie is still the biggest sweetheart but she's also now turned into a fashionista who borrows my clothes and shoes! In fact, she's wanted to wear my pants on her birthday. I think it's also a fad right now, but she likes to wear white shoes and was diligently cleaning her sneakers the other day.  

For her birthday, she chose to have Sushi and even ventured out of her comfort zone to try a few new rolls, which made me super proud. She didn't like them as much as her tried-and-true salmon avocado though. She also requested Grammie's apple pie because it's the best! 

Evie has continued to play the oboe for school band, but she misses playing flute so will voluntarily go practice flute every once in a while so she doesn't forget. She's a straight A student and loves school, and still picks Language Arts as her favorite subject because of all the books they get to read. She's still very much a reader girl and spends a lot of time with her books - she's moved on from fantasy though, and I spied her reading "The Summer I Turned Pretty" the other day. Yikes! 

It's so awesome to see her grow into a young lady and she couldn't make us prouder!! We love you, Evie-Vivi-Leelee Simpson!

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.

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!
