On August 4th we headed out to Virginia Beach to attend the wedding of one of my bestest friends, Eryn Roles. We were invited to stay in a beach house all week and then attend the wedding on 08/08/08. It was a great week and there were lots of fun activities. One of the highlights was the Dave Mathews Band concert. It was Cora's first concert and she loved it. She rocked out all night. She may have even gotten a little "high" there was crazy smoke everywhere.
Here is a rare picture of Pete and me. This was at at the concert. Fellow wedding friends Rob-Roy and Shannon are behind us.
Here is a shot of Cora enjoying the music.
Cora loved the beach. She would sit on the shore all day and cover herself in sand. Here is a picture of her getting ready. Notice the nice huge ear plugs.
Check out how awesome curly her hair was in the humidity. It was pretty cute.
We had an awesome time and loved Virginia. It was so pretty and there was some great food. We went to a buffet and all had ridiculous amounts of crab legs. Cora did so well even though she averaged six hours of sleep a night. And if we were super lucky she took a nap. She was the biggest form of entertainment there. She met tons of new friends who wanted to adopt her. I wonder if the offers still stand when she gets an attitude and an opinion?
I'll post more picture of our week including some great shots from the wedding. We love Eryn and Gabe and are so glad they invited us out.

It's A Miracle
I know I know I am posting, it's a miracle. Quite honestly I have been busy and lazy and haven't given blogging a second thought. But the other day I was thinking of all the cool things Cora is doing and I thought I should post them for keepsake later on.
Things Cora does that make her awesome
*Sleeps well after 9 a.m. everyday
*Says Walter. She also gets his treats out of the pantry and yells his name for him to come and eat.
*Learned head shoulders knees and toes. She does it all the time, however she just says "head shoes head shoes" it's super cute
*Has very in depth conversations on her iPhone and says "huh?" and fake laughs in her conversations.
*Cleans everything. If you give her any type of rag, wet wipe, or washcloth she will wipe down everything. Her room is spotless.
*Loves showers. She had graduated from the tub and loves standing in the shower.
*Dances to any sort of music. Today she busted moves to hymns in church.
*Says prayers. She knows when it's bedtime and goes into her room, sits down, and folds her arms.
*She's an awesome eater. She eats anything we give her. And when she is done she will put everything in her bowl and hand it to me.
*Dresses herself. She can put on her shoes and pants all by herself.
*Love Gretta. She has started taking Gretta with her everywhere. And she treats her like a person. She feeds her, combs her hair (fur), cleans her hands, take her on the slide. She even wanted to make sure Gretta could see out the plane window while flying this past week.
