Cora is 3 months old

I waited until bath time to get this photo. A mistake. Colin & Connor were OVER my attempts to get a good picture and my camera battery in my DSLR was dead w/o warning. Cora is still a cutie even with the point & shoot (and poor lighting). Still can't believe she is ours.

So sweet!














More posts coming . . . Stay tuned.

Boo at the Zoo

One of my roommates from college came to visit last weekend with her 2 kiddos (Brookelyn & Gavin). We had such a fun time at the zoo with our nap-deprived kids. Much better than watching the Auburn/LSU game

Cora and Connor

A few funny pics from a chilly morning last week. . .


Some are saying Cora may have red hair . . .


Check out that face . . .


She really loves Connor & Connor repeatedly says "I WANT TO KEEP HER!".

Funny Connor comment: at music class, a boy came in with a spiderman mask on and went out of his way to show Connor (the only other boy in the classroom). Connor said, and I quote, "Yeah, I like that. I am thinking about ordering it". Hide your credit cards!

Forrest Fun Run

Connor's school had a Boosterthon Fun Run last week. Honestly, I thought it was a terrible idea to have 3 year olds running laps in a parking lot. Parents were invited to attend, but it was cold that day and Cora was already fighting a little congestion so I sent Colin. Running is his thing, anyway. Connor loved it. Colin loved it. I loved staying home and getting these cute pics.








So, Connor ran 35 laps (the maximum allowed). Actually, I think he ran 33, someone mentioned he must be tired and he walked the last 2. Otherwise I dont think it would have occured to him that he was tired. He just ran, and ran, and ran. Other kids stopped to get the laps marked off on the shirt but he kept running, and running. Other kids stopped to get water, he kept running (no doubt Colin's kid). In high school Colin took his dog to the track to run and the poor dog kept up with Colin and ran his paws off, literally . Connor did pause about lap 15 to take a drink -only because Colin insisted. He wasnt the fastest, but he had a steady pace and enjoyed it. Again, obviously related to Colin. No way I would have run 2 miles at 3 (or 33) - ok maybe but I wouldnt have liked it.

Keeping Kitty

Connor's 3K class has a boy kitty and a girl kitty about the size of a Build-a-Bear. Each Thursday a student takes home Kitty for the long weekend. This was Connor's weekend. Thursday Kitty camped out in the garage (i.e. Connor left him in the car). Colin broughr in Kitty's suitcase on Friday and the fun began. Who would have thought a 3 year old would enjoy changing Kitty's outfits, brushing his lack of teeth, etc.? (maybe someone who studied education rather than philosophy and french?) Saturday we went to Pepperplace (market) and forgot Kitty. We went to get pumpkins and forgot Kitty. We did remember to take Kitty to Mass and Publix. Just as we got used to having Kitty around, it is time to get Kitty back to school. My favorite comment re: Kitty "We dont have to worry about Kitty being loud at church, because Kitty is not real".
