Cora eats rice cereal . . . (ignore her unruly hair)


Before




During

& After


She loves rice cereal! She especially loves using the spoon. I think she would eat pizza if we would let her. The girl wants to eat.

Christmas in Baltimore

We spent a long weekend last week in Baltimore visiting as many people as possible. We had a wonderful time but it was too short of a trip to see everyone. Here are some peeps we did see. . .


Jenna, Will, and Josh

Cora and I stayed with Caitlin. So fun. The mommies had lots of fun. Can you believe the twins turn one this week? Time flies.

We went to the Aquarium with Colin's mom on Friday afternoon. Connor enjoyed it





The dolphin show was a big hit.






Cora slept in the Ergo Baby the whole time. Amazing.

We had dinner at our favorite mexican dive, El Salto. No photos, it was crazy but delicious.

Saturday morning we met up with Jani, Monica, Elaine and little man Lukas who isnt so little anymore.



Techies . . .


Faces they made when we suggested they talk to each other . . .


Colin, Cora & Mary


Jani and Lukas




Chaos at Panera -you can see Cora only has eyes for one man (Connor).




Hilarious.

For lunch we met at Peace A Pizza in Catonsville. It is a gourmet pizza joint owned by some of our good friends.
We celebrated the annual Chisholm/Harrison/Moorhouse Christmas. This year Karen & Scott were sweet enough to drive up from Southern MD to visit and meet Cora.




Karen & Cora




Connor after a giant gingerbread cookie with sprinkles




Connor dancing with Madelyn. This was about 1 minute before he let go, she fell backwards and got a big knot on her little head. She was a trooper though.




Sweet sleeping Cora. She slept so long Cathy had to hand her off.




Connor insisted that he pose with the snowman. His cute owl hat that wasnt really on his head . . .

After lunch we drove to Fairfax to visit Kevin, Leslie, Daniel and new baby Joshua. I know, long day . . . But it was totally worth it.




Cora and Joshua. Joshua is 6 weeks younger than Cora but about the same size . . .


My favorite pic. Cora kept trying to feed Joshua her thumb. He looks pretty excited in this picture, but truthfully he wasnt interested.




I tried to get a cute pic of Connor and Daniel . . . This is what I got.

Sunday we went to the Ravens game while Heather (angel) kept the kids. It was our only game this season, despite having season tickets. Maybe we will get a home playoff game??

After the game we went to Bob & Amy's and Connor loved playing with Nick and Ben.


They ate pizza on Ben's bed and watched Santa movies.







We got to meet Grayson Michael. Pics are from Colin's phone so they arent very good. He is super cute and so sweet. Cora loved him.

Fun trip.

Aubie Claus

The first Sunday in December we took the kids to see Aubie dressed up as Santa Claus. This a cute breakfast tradition (pancakes & bacon) and Cathy & Chuck joined us. The photo is a little dark but both kids are looking and happy.


Afterwards we went to hell aka Chuck-E-Cheese for a birthday party. Connor loved it (of course). We live so close to Chuckie's that we considered taking the long, back way home just to make sure Connor didn't realize how close we actually are. We told him you only go there for birthday parties. Maybe he won't wise up.




Connor and Rosie (birthday girl) -isnt that a cute December birthday dress?




Connor on Clifford




Guitar Heroes - they had fun even though these faces arent smiling - so (focused)
