Lacrosse

We signed Nora up to play lacrosse this season and so far, it's been going great! She was pretty reluctant to go to the first practice but she very quickly made some friends and realized that the majority of the other girls were also beginners. We have 2 practices a week, and then 1 or 2 games each weekend. There's about 25 girls altogether, all 3rd and 4th graders in the Issaquah School district so it's a pretty darn big team. There's a few girls who have played before and are really good; they basically carry the team to win every time! Nora's slowly gotten better and in fact, even scored in a game and has had a few great assists. Cross your fingers she will want to keep playing next year!


Nora is the one with the pink jacket and pink eye guard.

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!
