holiday kick off




The past few weeks have flown by.  From DC to Boston, we've visited all of our east coast family.  Thanks for putting up with us.  We really do love spending time with you all.  (I only pulled out the camera twice during the past few weeks.  The pictures below are from the day we visited the Public Gardens downtown Boston.)

Cora's Quotes

-When she obviously needs to go potty, we'll ask her, 'do you need to go potty?"  She will almost always respond by saying, "no, I already did."

-I was asking her what she wanted for a present for Christmas.  She didn't say anything, so I started suggesting things like dolls, bikes, art supplies, and stuff.  She said no to everything and then said that she wanted, "clips" (aka: finger nail clippers).

-I asked Cora what does Daddy do when he goes to school and clinic.  She responded by saying, "Eat food and sandwich in backpack."

-It was Cora's turn for the prayer so she was repeating after me.  I said "thank thee for" and she said "five six seven eight nine ten eleven."

-Lap is "wap."  She knows how to say it correctly, but she insists that it is called "wap."

-Cora is convinced that individually wrapped prunes are actually candy.

-Any open area is just an invitation to do somersaults.

-She used to say her name sounding like 'Cow-a.'  Now is sounds more like "Car-a."  Maybe one day it will sound like "Cora."

-One time we spotted a Caterpillar just outside out building.  I let her hold it and play with it for a few minutes.  EVERY SINGLE TIME we go in or out of the building (since this happened in September) she says, "Caterpillar crawled away."

-We put a Sesame Street episode on Ryan's IPod for Cora.  Later she was asking to watch Sesame Street on the "Pea Pod."

-Cora and I took a one way flight home from Boston.  She was seriously disappointed when she found out we weren't going to Grandma's house when the plane landed.   I guess she has associated airplane rides with going to Grandma's.
