Mother's Day

By

We had a lovely, sunny Mother's Day last weekend! We spent it on Orcas Island and it was just a gorgeous spring day up in the islands - the sun was shining, flowers were in bloom and it wasn't too busy yet. We spent Saturday walking to town and the Farmer's market and then enjoying the sunshine by playing some lacrosse on the lawn. On Sunday, we had a fantastic brunch at New Leaf Cafe in town - I had a scrumptious duck confit with polenta hash. The rest of the day was spent playing outside and then driving home. All in all, a nice, relaxing weekend!


I love irises!

Super low tide on the beach

Smores at sunset

No chocolate bars, but we have chocolate sauce!

This is a cute family picture, no?

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.

Little hands

By
Evie made me a cute little jewelry tray for Mothers Day back in kindergarten and I've been using it to put little knicknacks like hair ties. I don't know what material it was made out of but it's been slowly crumbling away until Scott finally got fed up with the mess and threw it in the trash. Before he did though, we took a photo of her old hand compared to now. Look how little she used to be! sniff sniff.

Trick or Treat!

By
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!
