Cora's Blessing

Last minute I decided to surprise my family and fly down for Cora's blessing. I knew that if I didn't go I would continually regret it so I called up my grandma and worked out a plan to surprise my family. My grandparents picked me up from the airport and then had my family over for dinner. As each one of them arrived they all had their funny reactions. Marissa was probably the most excited and my parents both had to do a double take and said, "what are you doing here?".  Fun memories.

My weekend trip was quick and fun and went a little something like this....

lots of cora snuggles / being silly with z / teaching grandma how to use facebook / lunches and dinners with my parents / a quick visit with the jones family / movie time with z / sister bonding / cora's blessing day / brunch with my extended family

Three weeks in Texas.

Matthew is the best for letting me spend three weeks with family. I had great quality time with my nieces, Marissa, the rest of the family and even got see some friends along the way. It was much needed and I'm grateful that I got to spend so much time in Texas. 

Things I did/happened...

• Cora was born!
• Spent a week with Marissa and the girls. I love that I was around for Cora's first three weeks of life. 
• Quality time with Z included playing at the park, making carmel corn, gymnastics and just being silly at home. 
• Matthew flew in for Thanksgiving. He met baby Cora and had too much fun with Z. He was seriously her favorite for those days he was around. 
• Lunch with friends. So great to catch up with all of them.
• Lunch with Paris, Jake, and Jaxen.
• When the parents weren't working we were having fun at the movie theater or eating yummy dinners.
• Spent time with both sets of Grandparents. Grandpa Robb makes the best fires. We made smores.
• Thanksgiving! We had an early dinner with the Rigg's family and then had a little dinner over at Marissa and Ryan's. We were stuffed! 
• I'm so thankful for Matthew in my life. He is my rock. 

Baby Cora

Baby Cora's birth started off my three weeks in Texas. So happy this sweet little girl is my niece. I can't get enough of her cute button nose.
