Cora & Keegan sitting in a tree...

Cora may have her first boyfriend.
Anne & Dave had us over for brunch on Sunday along with Doug & Carla (Anne & Dave are such baby lovers that I think that they did this strategy on purpose... this way, they didn't have to fight over the baby because they each had one to cuddle!).
While there, Keegan and Cora were assessing each other. We started pushing them together- Cora was squealing in delight and Keegan had a huge grin.

This was actually a huge day out for Cora. We left the house around 10:30 in the morning for church, followed by brunch at Dave & Anne's. It was Second Sunday on King Street, which meant that the street was closed to all but foot traffic, so we loaded her into her stroller and strolled for a bit. Then, we headed out to Firefly Distillery for a going away party for our friends Paul & Grethen Reetz and their kids Gretta and Xavier.

While there, I heard the sweetest story. The Groeber's have a young son (maybe 2 and a half) Sean. Cora has suddenly appeared on Sean's nightly prayer list. Apparently this came out of nowhere, as he had not seen Cora in several weeks. Given this kid's choice of Halloween costume, I am pretty pleased that Cora is being remembered in his prayers!

This is Cora leaving the party. It was a tad chilly, so I bundled her up for the first time in her heavy sweater. As I carried her around, her arms were stuck straight out like the kid in "A Christmas Story". We didn't capture it well, but she looked so funny!
