The Last Days of Vacation

Cora Meets the Ocean

Pre-beach prep...ready to go!
Inside the beach tent (a must for the terribly pale)

Discovering sand...Cora loves, loves, loves the sand

She could do without the ocean part...and cried when we took her near the water the first time and a wave crashed in front of her!

She conquered her fear (for the most part) and humored her parents by allowing them to put her legs in the water and take pictures.


Post-beach crashing on the sofa.

Hi everyone! We are in Santa Rosa Beach for the rest of the week and have wi-fi at the rental. Hopefully we'll add a few more pictures soon. The vacation has been really nice so far...although we had ants "break" the a/c (luckily it was fixed within a few hours) and the ocean has been pretty fierce (mainly red flag days). No big storms yet...although the area is due for a tropical storm just by the fact that Chris and I are in town. :)

You Must Not Know About Me (A Tribute to Beyonce)

Cora is sporting her favorite artist onesie thanks to her creative, and ever awesome Aunt Mara! The carrot is our version of a microphone. She rocks it.

Sofia's Birthday Party

Cora (7 months), Will (9 months), and Sofia (birthday girl - 1 year!). Getting all of the babies to look at the camera was an impossible task...especially with blocks around.
