Playing outside

The whole family has really enjoyed getting outside in our big new yard! Cora loves to walk and explore the grass. There is even a picture of her with a dandelion she picked!

Later that day...

The contents of Cora's basket became the source of lots of fun

Cora's Easter

We didn't think Cora would quite be up for an egg "hunt," so we made finding her Easter basket much easier...it was met with a wonderful squeal of delight which you can just hear...

Busy Busy March

March is full of birthdays for us, and we were up and down the roads all month. Every weekend was a party for someone's birthday!

We all enjoyed being in the newest Conway household in NC for Clare's second birthday. Cora especially enjoyed eating Clare's cake and playing in her new sandbox.



Then two weeks later, it was back down to Charlotte for Pop's birthday.




And then, Aunt Stephie came to visit when Auntie Renata and Uncle Casey were here. What a busy month!

Tickle monster

After many failed attempts to get a good shot of Cora in my lap... we resorted to tickling!

Cora vacuums

We have been training her!

We have really been enjoying the intermittent nice weather. We get outside whenever we can! On this day, Cora and Madelyn were enjoying exploring the grass and the stroller.

We are a little slow with these, but that's one of the downsides of no internet at home!

Cora's party went so well. Almost all the family was here, minus Uncle Beard, and Cora and Clare kept us all entertained. It was just great to have everyone together in our house. Thanks to everyone for a great year... especially to Cora!

A visit to C'Ville

Cora went to Charlottesville recently to hang out with Aunt Renata...she was a little groggy waking up from her nap

What a year it's been!

Cora Mae joined us exactly one year ago today, one year ago at this exact time, and what a year it has been!

Looking back through our pictures has been a lot of fun. We - of course - have hundreds of pictures of Cora, and each one has it's own special memory.

We'll get around to posting some pictures from Cora's birthday party in the next day or so, but we just wanted to say "Happy Birthday Cora!"

A year ago today

...I seem to recall a nervous post in anticipation of Cora's arrival. There had been an appointment with the Doctor to discuss what we would do if Cora didn't arrive on time. We settled on 2/22/08 as a good day to come in to be induced.

What a year

Fun at the Doors

Cora Helps to Clean!

 

Upwardly Mobile

well, almost! (We just like the fact that "Taking Care of Business" was playing in the background!)

Cora tries the spoon

...and the spoon wins
