Kevin, Violet and I came home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. My mom came on Monday afternoon and watched Cora for the night. Kevin worked from home and took time off the rest of the week, and my dad came Thursday morning to see Violet and help out too. It was a big help to have my mom and dad here! They played with Cora, held Violet, made meals, cleaned, helped out with our basement, taught us a new game (Ticket to Ride-- we loved it!) and we all had a lot of fun together.
Shad and Jen came to visit and see the new baby on Tuesday.
Cora was so excited to have 4 people to convince to play outside with her. Almost everytime she would say 'side, side' someone would go out on a walk or to turn on the Elmo bubbles or kick the ball around. She's been a little more fussy since we brought Violet home, so she loved the extra attention! She's also been getting more particular with what she wears.... she wouldn't go outside without her lifejacket on the afternoon we took this picture!
Kevin and dad also spent some time putting together Cora's early birthday present. Kissie and Pata had been saving her birthday and Christmas money since she was born for something big and special--- and here it is! Cora LOVES it! She will look out the window and say 'house, house, house' when she wants to go outside and play in it. It's been a big hit. Thankyou Kissie and Pata!
Checking for mail (she was delighted when she found some 'mail' from Pata in there later!).....filling up the flowerpots with water and trying to give 'drinks' to everyone...... even the box is a lot of fun.
Practicing opening the door.... enjoying the view from the front porch bench....looking out the window.
Cora loved having Kissie and Pata visit! She's been saying their names and asking for them every since. Thanks a bunch for all your help!

I love the playhouse! It's a good idea to have it up on the porch- we didn't have room on the porch. Yours will stay a lot cleaner! Cora will love it this summer! What a good idea to wait on gifts until she was old enough to care and then get a big one.
I've loved looking through all these pictures. Seriously- you guys make one mold! Little Violet looks just like Cora to me!! Honestly!
I love the tutu pictures! :)
Congrats!!
Awesome play house. I have seen this at Costco and it is awesome. What a good choice. Also the pics in the Tutu are very cute as well. Take it easy Terrah.
What a beaut Kevin and Terrah! Congrats! DJ will be happy to have another friend. By the way, Ticket to Ride is cool but if you want a little more strategy in your game then pick up "Power Grid". Kevin, we should talk more board games. I use to be pretty hard core about them and have quite a few in the closet. Congrats again!
