Apple Orchard Party!

Yesterday we celebrated Cora's second birthday at a very cool apple orchard. We all enjoyed apple cider and donuts and a hayride. Everyone got to pick a bag of apples to bring home, so with eight of us we have a lot of apples! I think I'm gonna make jars of applesauce. The orchard had so much stuff at it! Even an elephant! There were pony rides and lots of toys and activities for the kids to do. We had never taken the kids to an orchard before and they really enjoyed it! Thanks Rick and Sarah for a fun day! Happy birthday Cora - 2 years old! My how time flies!

Introducing Baby Cora Lynn!

Our brand new baby niece was born yesterday morning. It was a little bit scary for Rick and Sarah. They had gone in for a scheduled induction on Friday night. By Saturday morning, Sarah was still only dilated to 1 1/2 cm. Then suddenly her water broke and she dilated to 3. The baby stopped breathing and they couldn't get her heart rate back up. Then Sarah went into shock and stopped breathing herself. After an emergency c-section baby Cora was born. Both mama and baby are just fine!!! Praise God!
