Cora Likes Chocolate
Clearly Cora knows what she likes. She just ate the chocolate coating off of the biscotti and then placed it on the table for me to finish
Playing On The Square
We took a jaunt to the Marietta Square on a fine spring day, mostly to play on the train. While Granma watched Emma and Henry play, Marla and I had an excellent Turkish lunch at Efe’s Restaurant. Cora, as you can see, especially like the humus.
Happy First Birthday, Cora Belle!
It’s hard to believe that an entire year has passed since Cora joined us but time does fly, especially when you are having fun.
We had an excellent birthday shindig this evening, attended by many and enjoyed by all. A few photos for now with more to come. As you can see, of course, the birthday girl enjoyed both her first slice of pizza as well as the yummy cake that followed.

Emma and Marla went to see The Nutcracker at the lovely Orange County Performing Arts Center in December. It was the first time Emma had been to see ballet and she was absolutely ecstatic. The show didn’t disappoint her one bit and, in fact, she’s now enrolled in ballet and tap dance lessons. The arts certainly can inspire!
Aunt Dot Pays A Visit
It’s not often that we get visitors out here on the lonely, smoky West Coast. We were very excited, then, when Aunt Dot paid us a visit earlier this summer. This was the first time that Emma and Henry had met a “great” on Marla’s side of the family. Continue reading
