Sister Mary Margaret
Cora “plays” with Mary by giving her lots of toys
and keeping her company
and playing games with her
and drawing on her face with a crayon
Being a big sister is tiring (the first time she's ever fallen asleep on the spot. Anywhere)
Cute outfit, Mary! Where did you get it?
From my cousin Sophie.
Are we just gunna sit here or should we get goin already?
Cora LOVES her friends Ella and Ellie
And Kyra
And grandmom

Pondering life.
Cora is growing up too fast!!!
She is so big already.
Well, maybe she still has some room to grow.
Helping get the laundry out of the dryer
I was bored one morning so I painted our mailbox
Where's Mary??? (Hint: she's in the bouncer.)
I made Cora a princess canopy so she could feel special.
I hope it worked. (it was easier than it looks, just a hula hoop and some yarn)
Hannah and Lindsay are playing a cup game they made up before the Suzuki piano concert. It's actually quite clever if you watch to the end.
