At The Movies

At the movies, Cora-style:

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." - M. Proust.

We are blessed.  Love and gratitude to all our family and friends - near and far.  

New Car

Cora seems to follow in her Grandpa John and Uncle Patrick's footsteps when it comes to an appreciation of cars.

*Maybe in the next video, Cora will also dazzle you with her new clapping trick :)  

Weekend with Nanna and Grandpa!

HUGE thanks to Nanna Beth and Grandpa John for babysitting Cora last weekend.  Nanna and Grandpa thoughtfully provided us with a steady stream of photos and videos throughout the visit.  Cora even sent us an e-mail:

Hi Mommie and Daddy. I am enjoying me time with Nanna Beth and Grandpa John. I hope you are doing well, as well.  Love and hugs.  The Bean. (Sent from my Droid Charge on Verizon 4G LTE)

We missed Cora, but it was really nice to reunite with old friends at ABCT's national conference in a low-stress context.  It was even nicer to come home to a house that was in BETTER shape than we left it, and to know that Cora was in such expert hands.  Also, funny that the first hour we returned to Oxford, Cora really didn't want to leave Nanna's side :)  Thanks for everything, Mom and Dad!  (also, Dad, I scheduled my car checkup today... ;)

Welcome, Dominic Jackson Magee!

We can't wait to meet you.  Congratulations!!!
