Boyd Orchards and Other Stuff

A couple of weekends ago, we made a trip to Boyd Orchards in Versailles, KY, and met up with our friends David and Laura Probus and their adorable little girl, Anna.  It was a beautiful day, and we had such a good time!  Cora liked the pumpkins, and she really enjoyed sticking her head through the wood cutout things for photo opportunities.  :)  We got to see some farm animals and went on a hayride.  The highlight of the trip was probably the fried apple pie and the apple cider!  It was a wonderful day.  Here are some pics:












Life for us has been pretty crazy the last couple of weeks.  We are finally getting ready to move!  We'll be heading south on October 31st.  We still haven't had any luck selling our house, but we trust that everything will work out when the time is right. 

Cora continues to learn and explores.  She is saying ball now...well, really it's baa, but we know what she means.  :)  She has been going absolutely insane with her ball popper lately!  It is so fun to watch.  She is also saying "mama" all the time.  It's driving Daddy crazy.  We'll ask her to say 'dada' and she won't say it anymore.  Instead she usually responds with an enthusiastic "mama!"  Of course, I get a kick out of this.  It was a long time coming!  Cora also pointed and asked for something for the first time on October 22nd.  I had given her a little bite of my iced sugar cookie which she had never had before.  She liked it enough to actually ask for more!  With Jeremy and I as her parents, she's bound to enjoy sweets.  :)  Cora still hasn't taken her first steps yet, but she is getting more and more confident walking with fingers.  I don't think it will be much longer.


Here are some other pictures from the last couple of weeks.  Hopefully we'll have some fun videos up soon.

Something about black tights on such little stubby legs makes me smile.

It's for you!

Cora's first pigtail!

Cora discovered her shadow - she enjoyed watching it dance!

Cora LOVES to watch mommy through the glass when I am outside grilling
