Carrots, Colds and Temporary Good Byes

It's a sad evening tonight- tomorrow Buddy and the Grand Po-Ba will be heading back to their homeland of rainy Kentucky after spending a wonderful two-months in sunny Idaho. We will miss them an awful lot, but luckily they will be coming back in June for a couple months again! 

Cora and I didn't have to say our goodbyes quite yet though because tomorrow we will all caravan down to Laramie together where they will then continue on to Kentucky and Cora and I will go down to Fort Collins to visit Nana and Pops, Cindy, Terry, Laura, Michael, and Marisa and Mike! Nat (who is currently in Europe again for work) will fly in to meet us. I can't wait for Cora to meet Mike and the Beahms and I'm so excited to see my family! I just hope the car drive goes okay ...

Before this past week slips away, below are some photo documenting this week's adventures. It was a big week because Cora ate her first solid food- some organic carrots, which she hated at first, but I think it was our mistake to give it to her during her witching hour. I let her try some again later in the week and she did much better, she just made some funny faces and spit most of it down her chin and onto her clean clothes.  

Cora also got her first cold (and so did I, and I hope mine was worse because it was pretty gnarly). Being sick and taking care of a sick little one while Nat was gone was hard. The night was the hardest because I couldn't take NyQuil or anything because I had to get up every few hours to take care of my needy little bug. I don't know how single mommas do it .... 

We are both on the mend though (I hope!) and are ready for some down time at Nana and Pops.

We also took Cora to (I think her first?) outdoor concert at River Run of Willie Nelson's son. She did great and loved all the attention from half the town! It makes me so excited for summer when we can take her out and about to all the fun things this Valley has going on in the summer.  

Okay, off to bed to rest up for our big adventure tomorrow!
