Our First Family Vacation

We thought this was such a festive backdrop for a family picture at the Mast. We could not pass it up.

Baby in a Backpack

Cora loves the "Baby in a Backpack". She thinks it tastes great! This picture turned out ok even though I took it myself.

Cora loved the Candy Barrel. Can you tell?

EVERYONE that goes to ASU has a picture in front of the sign. Usually it is taken by your parents when you move in as a freshman. We decided to go ahead and get Cora in the game a little early. It was so sunny and beautiful that you can hardly see our faces. But you get the idea.

What a happy girl.

This is where her hand is most of the time. We're afraid that she is going to be a lefty, no offense to anyone. In this picture, she is watching CNN. She loves tv-scary. We don't encourage her to watch at all- but if it's on and she can turn her neck to see it, she will. She is so focused!

Coy, Cora and I went to the mountains over the weekend. We had such a wonderful time! We stayed on top of Sugar Mountain at Misty and Daniel's condo. It was very cold and windy--which is perfect for me! It even snowed just after we left :( While we were there, we hit all of the Boone area hot spots. We walked around the ASU campus, of course (it is hardly recognizable now with all of the new buildings). We did a little shopping. We cruised King Street, with a stroller, no less. That is definately a first! We drove on the parkway and looked at all of the breathtaking sights. We vistied the Mast Store and showed Cora where her Mama worked for 3 years (she got to listen to a little bluegrass, which she loves!) We even did a little hiking. We tested out Coy's "baby in a backpack..." She was great. I think she loved the mountains. We are excited about being able to take her skiing in the next couple of years. It was an exciting weekend that went by entirely too fast.

Stay tuned for many pictures after this weekend. We will certainly have quite a few. We will be doing the Halloween thing on Friday -and on Saturday, Granddaddy Irv and his brothers will be honored at a new veterans memorial in Farmville. Cora will have a chance to meet lots of relatives for the first time. We can't wait!
