We finally got a huge snow fall here! The last two winters have been tame by East Coast standards. We had one big storm this winter but it started the day after we left for Seattle for the Holidays! Well, we got a big one last night!

Levi staged to go, unfortunately he’s still too young to go down on his own. Like his ride?
Nora taking the plunge!
Levi is now 7 months old. At 6 months, we introduced rice cereal and since then we’ve introduced a handful of other foods: bananas, pears, avacado, sweet potato, prunes. He seems to like everything but he still hasn’t mastered opening his mouth so feeding him becomes a messy job!
We enjoyed a wonderful trip to the NW for the holidays. Our first stop was our friends Chuck and Carrie’s. Nora was really excited to hang out with Daniel, Jacob and especially Rylie.
Next we bundled up and took a ferry over to Grandma’s on Bainbridge. We absolutely LOVED the Ivars Fish and Chips even though Alicia spilled most of a bowl of chowder on her coat.
Alicia and Nora killing time waiting for the ferry.

The next morning we took a walk to the beach.
Nora and Levi enjoyed lounging around in their PJ’s
The next day we visited our favorite park on the Island, Battleground. We all had a blast.
Christmas Eve we headed to Uncle Mark’s and Aunt Mari’s for our traditional Christmas eve gathering.
Nora tried her hand at table tennis with her cousins.
Of course opening presents was a hoot.
And Nora just loved playing with her cousin Katelyn
And all the cousins bonded
We were fortunate to have uneventful flights. Alicia did a great job holding Levi for nearly the entire 11 hours. In my opinion, the hardest part was accomodating Nora as she attempted to sleep… feet in Alicia’s lap and head in mine!
