Valpo Turkey Day!

Yes, yes, I know. I haven't updated the blog in forever...my apologies. :( Life has been busy! Tis the season, I guess. We went home to Valpo to see Nana and Papa for Turkey day. We had lots of fun and Nora just loved mom and dad. I think she might have been extra smiley for the trip. :)

Here she is laying in Cede's new bed. Serves her right. Tank, Malcolm have taken over her room so she might as well get in on the action.

Who me? Don't let my angel face fool you. I can be a little baracuda...even when my nose is all red because I have a cold.

I think Nora found her spot. Nana didn't seem to mind much either. So adorable. :)

I'm a bird, I'm a plane... Such a goober.

It's Official....

I legally adopted Nora (11/20/09). I was nervous and excited--and we all know that I cried. Nothing in my heart changed, but I don't worry about anything happening legally now. She's the most amazing thing in the world and I will never have the words to explain how much I love her.

The judge took pics with us after. I look like I'm twenty feet away. Lord knows I wanted to give him a bear hug in my happy moment. But, I didn't want to upset someone with that much authority, so I chose to stay in my own dance space. He was really cute with Nora.

Here it is in black & white...our little family.

One of the best outfits ever!

She can really pull off polka dots. :)

Professional Pics!

I have no idea why I did not post these a couple weeks ago. These are Nora's a little over 3 month pics. So cute. :)
This is Mommy Lisa's favorite "Peek a Boo."

Lisa bought her this cute little "rocker" outfit. Our photographer wasn't the greatest, so we didn't get many of her in this outfit, but this one is super cute.

This is Auntie Amy's favorite. She's such a goober. Auntie made her this dress, too!

Princess Leia & Santa Claus

Hey everybody! We're back. It's been awhile. We thought we'd say hello and give you an update. Nora's recovered from Halloween and is getting ready for Turkey day. In the meantime, this is what we've been up to....

The latest Princess Leia impersonation. "Obi Wan, you're my only hope."

" Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas!"

I have no idea where she gets this behavior from...

Or do I...

I heart my sister!

Ralphie from 'A Christmas Story' has nothing on me.

I had to suit up to take a walk with my sister Mercedes.

Pic of my ladies. :)

Boo!

Nora would like me to share with you A) Her many outfits for Halloween B) That her mommies are not funny, even though they think they are hilarious.

This is her skeleton outfit from Auntie Amy :)

This outfit is from Grandma & Grandpa Johnson. Honestly, could this outfit get any better?

Wait, wait....

Yep, this is the best. :)

No worries, we didn't forget Mercedes.
