Happy Birthday Cora!!




Cora is 1!!! She celebrated for a full week starting in Cleveland and ending with a birthday party at home in Alexandria. Thanks to everyone for all of your support and love during Cora's first year. Dan and I are amazed at how short a time ago it seems that he was posting her newborn pictures from the hospital. What a wonderful year it has been!

Stay tuned for more pictures and updates as Cora enters Toddlerhood....

Cora's First Trip to Cleveland





Cora finally met her Great Nana in Cleveland. Gray, Riley, and Grandma Peggy took a road trip with us for Mother's Day weekend. It was great to see so many cousins, aunts, and uncles. We stayed with Ella, Matt, and Nicole. Cora and Ella are becoming buddies and Cora loves Ella's cat Lola. We also got to see Jamie and Laura's beautiful new house. We packed a lot in to a short weekend!
