Happy #6 Gena!

Happy Anniversary Gena!

We've officially been married for six years! It's hard to believe time has passed so quickly.  Our sixth year has obviously been a big one, and I know they'll just keep getting better.  I love you babe!

Rolling Update

As promised, here are the latest developments on Cora's rolling skills!  

Marshmallow pictures - Months 5 & 6

Cora turned 5 months old right at Christmas time, but we didn't get a chance to take her marshmallow pictures until after we got back to LA. Then, when we did get around to taking them, our card reader broke and we couldn't get them off the camera! So here's a big pile of pictures from both 5 and 6 months old.

Christmas Part II

As promised, I have the rest of the Christmas pictures!  Things are starting to get moving at work, and we had a nightmarish two weeks at our new daycare, but now I finally have time to share them with you! Don't worry about the daycare fiasco, we got it taken care of, and are starting in a new place Monday that we are very excited about.

As you know, my Mom is usually busy on Christmas day, seeing as she is both the choral director and the organist at her church, but she was able to come out to TX to help spoil her granddaughter for a few days after Christmas.  

Leading up to the visit, she mentioned that she was working on a surprise for Cora, but wouldn't give me any clues.  Finally, the day before she flew out she made me promise that I won't hate her for how the surprise turned out.  Now I'm not a hating person, but this made me worry!  I harassed her for a while trying to get some info from her, but to no avail.  Janna was a little more informative, but not enough for me to be ready for this.  

Christmas with Cora

This year we travelled to Texas for the Christmas holidays. Since we've never had a holiday just the two of us, we usually don't make much fuss about presents and whatnot. In fact, I don't think we even bothered to wrap them last year. But, as Christmas this year meant presents for Cora, we decided we should actually do something. 

So the Saturday before we left for TX we woke up, got donuts, and had Christmas. Cora enjoyed all her new toys and books. (And doesn't her stocking there on the right look nice? I managed to finish it on time!)
